Completely different look on the thing. We were just few Ph.D. students
but now we see differently and we can concentrate on
the stuff which is important for the commerce.
I hope we will, in time, become leaders on the market
and bio IT.
Good evening, everybody. My name is Vilem Ĺ ustr and we are Caversoft. We develop software
for protein analysis and visualization.
Proteins are extremely complex structures and their study is bases for protein engineering and drug
design which is performed by pharma and biotech companies.
The goal is to develop a new drug or a new chemical compound of some
kind
and traditionally, this is performed by doing thousands of experiments in laboratories.
Well, increasingly
it has become time consuming and expensive and it's a big problem for the pharma
companies.
To overcome the limitations,
we have developed a software product based on prediction of protein behaviour and interaction.
We estimated that it can save the companies around twenty thousand euro and a month
of development time for their protein engineering products.
While a small research group runs five to ten of such projects, big companies do
dozens of them at once.
Our software is integration of advanced visualization methods and tools for protein exploration, combined with
analytical modules based on detection of voids and void space in proteins.
Our product has been developed and tested with the protein engineering group from the Loschmidt
Laboratories.
We have been acknowledged worldwide among the community.
Currently we have a beta version ready, which is being tested and our product, our
basic version attracted four thousand five hundred users around the world.
In the picture you can see
institutions that already use Caver or have asked us for a commercial license.
Thank you for your attention. We are Caversoft. We help to, we have to speed
up the development of drugs and compounds. And to, if you want to know more
about us, check our website and send us to the next round and the first
place. Thank you.
