The ChEMBL team wishes a Merry Xmas 2023!

2023 has been a productive year for the ChEMBL team, with two separate releases of ChEMBL, an overhaul of the ChEBI data schema, and the release of the new SureChEMBL.

We introduced some new features in ChEMBL, including a flag for Natural Products and Chemical Probes and updated our Natural Product-likeness score. Drug data in ChEMBL and drug warning information has been updated for ChEMBL 32. You can find more detailed information in our 2023 NAR update paper.

Another focus this year was the improvement of documentation and processes to make data depostion for ChEMBL easier.

The curation of data on assay parameters is a constannt endeavour in the team and has recently been described in two separate blog posts: one on the "AIDX" and another one on the perfect assay description.

We have also been active by developing our own Nature Trail event on Campus highlighting some of the bioactive compounds from the flora and fauna found on-site and elsewhere.

Now it is time to sit back & wish you all a restful holiday season!
