CEME: When a drug’s intracellular footprint doesn’t add up

News Item

When a drug interacts with a target, it leaves a trail of mediators like footprints in snow. If this trail does not accord with prevailing dogma on the drug’s mechanism of action, then we must consider the possibility that current teachings are flawed or untenable. Taken together this may suggest the existence of a mechanism of action about which we know nothing. By exposing this trail CEME has the power to …

Dexrazoxane — a smart drug that breaks all the rules

News Item

McCormack Pharma’s customised association rules learning algorithm reveals a previously-unknown relationship between dexrazoxane and poly(ADP-ribose) (PAR) polymer. This previously-unknown relationship explains both acute and long-term cardioprotection in patients receiving anthracyclines, and provides exciting prospects for probing real world big data.

CEME – a purpose-built tool for value-differentiation

News Item

For the first time in over three decades, Dr McCormack openly discusses the methods that represent the basis for CEME’s success as the only purpose-built system for value-differentiation. Notably, he shows how he successfully built one of the earliest examples of an association rules learning algorithm as a means to overcome the challenges presented by text mining.

McCormack Pharma announces a breakthrough discovery in the mechanism of clopidogrel resistance

Press release

A landmark discovery by McCormack Pharma provides a new insight into why some patient subgroups are at increased risk of showing resistance to the popular anti-platelet drug clopidogrel (Plavix). Excitingly, the initial CEME outcomes provide evidence for the existence of a surprising relationship between a circulating marker that is typically elevated within discrete subpopulations of patients, and clopidogrel’s target, the P2Y12 platelet receptor.
