Synaptic Science
Company Overview
• Spun out of Celera Genomics in mid 2006
• Outright assignment of 3 years worth of IP from team of 6
– Primary IP is Seurat platform (12 FTE years of development)
– Algorithms and visualization techniques
• Seurat is a proven drug discovery platform that has been shown to
improve productivity (Celera / 10 projects / 150 users / 3 years)
• Team of six highly experienced computational chemists,
mathematicians and software development specialists
• Several customers already and many pilot installs / evaluations
underway
• Presented at ChemAxon UGM in 2006
• Offer a significant discount to academic users

Why Seurat?
“The effective integration and use of information
and data will become the single biggest
differentiator of pharmaceutical R&D in the next
decade“

What is Seurat?
Product Overview
•
Structure Exploration Utility for
Rational Therapeutics
•
Suite of software tools for team based
real-time collaborative drug discovery
•
Brings together many data points into
complete picture
– Flexible access to corporate DB &
meta-information.
– Open System: Incorporate in-house
tools easily.
– Perform & track SAR analyses.
– Visual Data Mining: Create & track
hypotheses.
– Easy for bench scientists to use.
•
The power of JChem Base in the
hands of every chemist and biologist

Why use Seurat?
Benefits to your organization
• Support federated data sources: Seurat can work against your
existing medicinal chemistry database(s). Companies have many
suppliers of tools and data – integrating this data is critical
• Chemically and Biologically-aware: Always include chemical
structures in biological context
– Appropriately handle experimental uncertainty or complexity: show/hide
details as needed.
• Decision script paradigms: Allow users to flexibly build process
pipelines and reuse step components
• Orthogonal perspectives from tables: mine, visualize, explore,
save, update SAR. Make new discoveries about your data, even data
that you have analyzed for years.

Seurat
Programmable Job Model API
•
User decisions are saved as a
hierarchy of job objects
–
–
•
Can be executed without GUI
This is how the cache of results is
refreshed overnight
Help->Debug Job allows you to see a
visual representation of how to
combine jobs to get a result
–
Learn by example
•
Parent jobs can be combined
logically (AND, OR, NOT, PIPE)
•
Use Seurat GUI or programmatically
create your own jobs then
–
–
Display results within your own GUI /
Webpage
Use a Seurat job as a step in a
pipeline

Seurat
Chemically and Biologically Aware
Showing compound data without
including chemical structures is
like starving chemists of oxygen.
•
SAR Analysis
– Equations can be applied to
structures and data.
– R-group decomposition
•
Import and Export chemical
structures
– Microsoft Excel (Structure
images), PDF, SD files
– Copy and paste into Microsoft
PowerPoint

Seurat
Intelligent handling of experimental
uncertainty or complexity
An assay value out of context looses
meaning. Don’t try to coerce data
into a single form
•
Biological Assays
– Imprecise values shown and can
be used in calculations
– Aggregate experiments per
compound mouse over for detail
•
Pharmacokinetics &
Pharmacology
– Confidence Intervals
– Link to full report when available

Seurat
Decision script paradigm
Don’t force user to articulate thesis
to start, instead let the user
organically grow analysis steps
as needed
•
Start with a simple query
•
Incremental complexity – add,
remove data as needed in steps
•
Record script for replay – save it
for later, email to others
•
Real-time data acquisition –
always see the latest results
13
Seurat
Orthogonal perspectives from tables
Allow users to actively discover
information using several orthogonal
tools. Allow users to save snapshots
as hypotheses & track these.
•
Size, color etc. allows analysis in >2D
•
All views are linked, selection in one
is echoed into other views.
•
Dynamic filtering applies to all views
simultaneously
–
–
–
Drag
and
drop
rows /
cols to
cluster
Which series is best?
What should I assay next?
What compound to synthesize next?

Seurat
Orthogonal perspectives from tables – SAR
•
Alternate but linked views of
results:
– Tabular and most familiar
– Matrix view with zooming and
cell coloring for emphasis of “hot
spots”
•
Can still organically grow the
tabular view to better inform the
matrix view
