SciTegic was a San Diego-located software company that specialized in developing informatics solutions tailored for the pharmaceutical and biotechnology sectors.
History
Established in February 1999 by Mathew A. Hahn and David Rogers, both previously associated with Molecular Simulations, SciTegic concentrated on bioinformatics software. In 2004, the company was purchased by Accelrys for $21.5 million, becoming a fully owned subsidiary.
Pipeline pilot
Pipeline Pilot was created to enhance the efficiency of data input and transfer processes for computational and project chemists engaged in screening and modeling tasks. It offered a single, integrated interface that minimized the need to use several different software tools.
The company introduced "Data Pipelining," an adaptable technology designed to handle drug discovery data workflows. This software utilizes a visual dataflow programming approach akin to LabVIEW, allowing users to design pipelines that convert raw datasets into detailed outputs such as consolidated experimental information.
After the acquisition, Mathew Hahn assumed key technical leadership positions at Accelrys, including the role of Chief Technology Officer.
