Silicos-it provides services in the field of open source chemoinformatics with extensive expertise. Silicos-it has been recognized as a preferred commercial partner providing services within the field of chemoinformatics and molecular modeling. If you have a specific problem for which you seek a solution in one of those scientific domains, changes
are very likely that they can help you. Silicos-it has experience in many of these areas, including hit identification using protein docking applications, similarity- and pharmacophore-based searches, compound clustering, and structure-activity relationships. In addition, they can also help you in setting up specialised in-house chemistry-aware IT-solutions, such as chemical web-based datastorage platforms build on top of open source back-end information technologies.
The company was founded in 2005 by Hans De Winter, Wilfried Langenaeker and Gert Thijs. At that time the company was simply called Silicos. In 2011, a shift in focus was introduced, hereby moving away from services using closed source software into the direction of services using - to a large extent - open source chemoinformatics tools. To emphasize this complete refocus, the name Silicos was changed into Silicos-it.
