| 0:00:26 | Completely different look on the thing. We were just few Ph.D. students |
|---|
| 0:00:34 | but now we see differently and we can concentrate on |
|---|
| 0:00:39 | the stuff which is important for the commerce. |
|---|
| 0:00:43 | I hope we will, in time, become leaders on the market |
|---|
| 0:00:49 | and bio IT. |
|---|
| 0:01:08 | Good evening, everybody. My name is Vilem Ĺ ustr and we are Caversoft. We develop software |
|---|
| 0:01:14 | for protein analysis and visualization. |
|---|
| 0:01:17 | Proteins are extremely complex structures and their study is bases for protein engineering and drug |
|---|
| 0:01:24 | design which is performed by pharma and biotech companies. |
|---|
| 0:01:28 | The goal is to develop a new drug or a new chemical compound of some |
|---|
| 0:01:32 | kind |
|---|
| 0:01:33 | and traditionally, this is performed by doing thousands of experiments in laboratories. |
|---|
| 0:01:40 | Well, increasingly |
|---|
| 0:01:42 | it has become time consuming and expensive and it's a big problem for the pharma |
|---|
| 0:01:47 | companies. |
|---|
| 0:01:48 | To overcome the limitations, |
|---|
| 0:01:50 | we have developed a software product based on prediction of protein behaviour and interaction. |
|---|
| 0:01:56 | We estimated that it can save the companies around twenty thousand euro and a month |
|---|
| 0:02:01 | of development time for their protein engineering products. |
|---|
| 0:02:05 | While a small research group runs five to ten of such projects, big companies do |
|---|
| 0:02:11 | dozens of them at once. |
|---|
| 0:02:14 | Our software is integration of advanced visualization methods and tools for protein exploration, combined with |
|---|
| 0:02:23 | analytical modules based on detection of voids and void space in proteins. |
|---|
| 0:02:31 | Our product has been developed and tested with the protein engineering group from the Loschmidt |
|---|
| 0:02:35 | Laboratories. |
|---|
| 0:02:36 | We have been acknowledged worldwide among the community. |
|---|
| 0:02:41 | Currently we have a beta version ready, which is being tested and our product, our |
|---|
| 0:02:46 | basic version attracted four thousand five hundred users around the world. |
|---|
| 0:02:52 | In the picture you can see |
|---|
| 0:02:54 | institutions that already use Caver or have asked us for a commercial license. |
|---|
| 0:03:01 | Thank you for your attention. We are Caversoft. We help to, we have to speed |
|---|
| 0:03:06 | up the development of drugs and compounds. And to, if you want to know more |
|---|
| 0:03:11 | about us, check our website and send us to the next round and the first |
|---|
| 0:03:15 | place. Thank you. |
