COVID Q&A AND REMOTE WORKING RESOURCES
To our valued customers and partners,
While the world continues to navigate its way amid the uncertainty brought about by COVID-19, Schrödinger is committed to supporting your activities and helping you continue your research workflows as seamlessly as possible. Below we’ve compiled a list of frequently asked questions and resources. Please reach out to your local Schrödinger account manager, application scientist or email us at help@schrodinger.com with any additional questions and concerns.
1. I was looking forward to attending one of Schrödinger’s scientific presentations at a conference, but the event was cancelled. Are recordings of those planned presentations available?
- Yes, as part of Schrödinger’s Summer of Science Series all of the planned presentations and posters from events and user group meetings cancelled this year will be made available free to view on-demand throughout the summer. To learn more and register for this series visit: www.schrodinger.com/summer-of-science
2. Will my hosted licenses or cloud services be impacted?
- Schrödinger is committed to meeting its service level agreements for our cloud services and license servers. We’ve designed our Cloud Infrastructure for maximum availability and resilience. We have robust capacity management processes to provide service scalability. We do not expect any disruption to hosted licenses or to our cloud service.
3. How can I get updates from Schrödinger on COVID-19 related issues?
- Schrödinger will disseminate any important service notifications via your standard account contacts and communication channels. For technical Customer Support, click here. If you have any other questions or concerns regarding COVID-19, please channel these through your existing Application Science and Account Management teams that you use for all other business communications.
4. I’m stuck at home, working remotely. Are there any resources available to help me get up and running?
- If you are connected to your company's VPN, you can continue to work just like you were in the office. Here are a few resources to help you get started:
5. I feel like collaboration is suffering now that my team is all remote. How is Schrödinger managing its research projects and helping its employees remain connected?
- All of the in-house and collaborative projects in which we are involved at Schrödinger are built on collaboration and data sharing on our LiveDesign platform, which is web based and readily accessible from your office at home. You can read more about this in a blog post by one of our medicinal chemistry leaders, Wayne Tang and at our LiveDesign page.
- Check out this blog post from Schrödinger’s Jenny Chambers on a few ways she is staying connected while working from home.
6. I’d like to learn more about using computational modeling and aid my experimental work when I get back to the lab. Where do I get started?
- We have libraries of documentation and of training videos, which you can find here: Tutorials, Videos, and more
- Schrödinger’s Online Course is a flexible way to learn how industry-leading computational molecular modeling tools are used to aid in drug discovery and design and how to incorporate these tools into your research project. You gain hands-on experience with Schrödinger's Maestro and LiveDesign, and receive a certificate of completion at the end of the 4 week course
7. How is Schrödinger helping the response to COVID-19?
- Schrödinger, Takeda Pharmaceutical, Novartis, Gilead and WuXi Apptec are all contributing to a joint, long-term, philanthropic research alliance, which is seeking to develop an antiviral therapy for COVID-19. Along with computational modeling using our physics-based platform, Schrödinger is also providing its informatics platform LiveDesign, which is being used as the central interface to allow scientists at the different companies to seamlessly collaborate as well as contribute ideas and experimental data.
