DESCRIPTION:BioExcel’s webinar series continues with Nick Lynch\, who wil
 l introduce Open PHACTS\, an integrated pharmacological data platform and 
 [BioExcel strategic partner](http://bioexcel.eu/partnership-between-bioexc
 el-and-open-phacts-foundation/).\n\nNick is joined by Stian Soiland-Reyes 
 and Adam Hospital who will explain in details how BioExcel is building a V
 irtual Screening workflow combining Open PHACTS with the BioExcel-supporte
 d tools for biomolecular simulation and modelling.\n\nThe [Open PHACTS Dis
 covery Platform](http://www.openphacts.org/) brings together vast amounts 
 of linked data in a single integrated\, open infrastructure providing a pl
 atform for researchers to access and query publicly-available pharmacologi
 cal data. The platform integrates major open data sources (e.g. ChEMBL\, U
 niProt\, WikiPathways\, SureChEMBL\, DrugBank\, Disgenet and their associa
 ted Chemistry) on compounds\, patents\, diseases\, targets and pathways\; 
 linked by identifiers\, semantic and structural chemistry information\, re
 -exposed as a collection of unified web APIs\, workflow components plus to
 ol integrations. The platform is maintained by the [Open PHACTS Foundation
 ]()\, which is supported by members from biopharmaceutical industry and Re
 search Organisations with an active developer and user community.\n\n[BioE
 xcel](http://bioexcel.eu/) is an European Centre of Excellence that suppor
 t academia and industry in the use of high-end computing in biomolecular r
 esearch. Part of BioExcel’s roadmap for workflows is to develop Workflow
  Blocks for biomolecular simulation and modelling\, which includes Open PH
 ACTS as a data service. Such blocks\, including the Open PHACTS platform\,
  can be deployed in private or public cloud environments\, and used to bui
 ld portable pipelines. BioExcel is currently developing a series of [pilot
  use cases](http://bioexcel.eu/research/pilot-use-cases/)\, including a Vi
 rtual Screening workflow using Open PHACTS.\n\nIn this webinar\, **Nick Ly
 nch** (Open PHACTS Foundation)\, **Stian Soiland-Reyes** (The University o
 f Manchester) and **Adam Hospital** (IRB Barcelona) will present the Open 
 PHACTS platform and how it will be used with BioExcel workflow blocks to b
 uild a virtual screening pipeline.\n\n[BioExcel webinars](http://bioexcel.
 eu/category/webinar/) include an audience Q&amp\;A session during which at
 tendees can ask questions and make suggestions.\n\nPlease [**register** at
