...but life intervened and funding changed, so SIDER sideeffects.embl.de is unfortunately gathering dust since its last update in 2015.
But there's good news: @chembl.bsky.social and @opentargets.org are starting a new effort to mine the available data and produce a high-quality databases! [2/3]
We are looking for a new Technical Lead for our group. This is an exciting opportunity for someone either from a scientific or informatics background to play a key role in our team which has a huge impact on the scientific communities that we serve: chembl.blogspot.com/2025/12/open...
The ChEBI 2.0 paper has just been published by Nucleic Acids Research.

We've just released a webinar that provides background on the #chembl database alongside worked examples highlighting some common scenarios in drug discovery initiatives.

We have gone back in time and generated SQLite files for all releases of #ChEMBL from version 1 onwards making it easier to carry out analyses across ChEMBL versions.

Thanks!
Last chance to apply for this pivotal role, taking our services to the next level. Get in touch by end of Aug if interested...
Who would like to see 3D structures on ChEMBL? (*my hand shoots up*)
In support of @egonw.mastodon.social.ap.brid.gy 's 'One Million IUPAC Names' project, we have just released more than 4 million IUPAC names text-mined from patents.

We would very much appreciate people taking the time to fill our impact survey. This helps makes the case for support for our resources. Survey closes on July 16th.
Last but by no means least, we chose to take a reversed approach and check which of our colocalised IBD genes were ALREADY drug targets for non-IBD diseases. With a little help from
@chembl.bsky.social
and
@opentargets.org
, we noticed two particularly interesting cases: PSEN2 and NDUFAF1…
Just one week left to apply for this position in our team, as frontend developer:
embl.wd103.myworkdayjobs.com/EMBL/job/Hin...
As chemical data grows, turning names into machine-readable structures is key for discovery, automation, and data integration.
OPSIN – now hosted at EMBL-EBI – helps solve this by converting IUPAC names into chemical structures and other machine-readable formats.

In collaboration with Dr Daniel Lowe, we are delighted to announce that the new home of the OPSIN web service is at EMBL-EBI. This well-known service converts systematic IUPAC names to structure.
