"For many years we have had a strong relationship
with Indiana University. We could not be more
pleased with what they are doing to train a new
generation of chemical informatics professionals,"
said YosefTaitz, CEO at Daylight.
"The Daylight Innovation in Chemical Informatics
Fellowship provides the much-needed financial
assistance to attract and retain the top students," said
Dr. Michael Dunn, Dean of the University's School
of Informatics. "In addition, Daylight is helping set a
precedence for partnerships with industry leaders that
will make Indiana University the foremost
international center for the research and teaching of
Informatics."at Purdue, he was a research assistant with extensive
experience in the synthesis, purification, and
characterization of heterocyclic molecules. Vidale
has an undergraduate degree in chemistry and
molecular biology from Florida A & M University.

Kenrick Vidale Receives IU/Daylight
Fellowship in Chemical Informatics
Indiana University School of Informatics is pleased
to announce Kenrick Vidale as the first recipient of
Daylight Innovation in Chemical Informatics
Fellowship. The $15,000 annual fellowship was
given by Daylight Chemical Information Systems to
provide support for a deserving graduate student
studying chemical informatics. Kenrick Vidale will
be entering the School of Informatics in August 2002
as a first year graduate student on the Bloomington
campus of IU. Chemical informatics is the
application of information technology to the
investigation of chemistry problems and to the
organization and analysis of chemical data. The key
areas of concern to chemical informaticists are
systems that can not only cope with huge amounts of
data, but also can organize and evaluate data to give
new insight for further chemical research. Kenrick
Vidale is a native of St. Croix, US Virgin Islands. He
is currently completing his doctorate in organic
chemistry at Purdue University (May 2002). WhileGary Wiggins

Salutes Wolfgang Pilch
Mr. Wolfgang Pilch, former Technical Director of
INPADOC and the person most closely attributed
with founding and developing the INPADOC patent
family database, is being honored as the recipient of
the 'International Patent Information (IPI) Award'
2002.
The award was announced at the Patent Information
Users Group (PIUG) Annual Conference in Berkeley,
California, on April 22nd, 2002. Lucy Akers,
representative of the IPI Award Selection Board and
Chairperson of the PIUG, praised the achievements
of Mr. Pilch, remarking that: "In the late '70's, the
technical leadership required to develop information
systems was formidable. It was the convergence of
this candidate's inspirational leadership, technical
mastery and detailed understanding of the subject
domain that was key to his pioneering
developments." Mr. Pilch's early recognition of the
importance of global patent information and the
efforts he made to collect source data from the patent
offices of the world and coordinate it into a patent
family system has been of great benefit to patent
information users around the world for decades. The
INPADOC database remains a valuable tool and has
also served as the foundation for new databases. This
file has saved patent information users literally
thousands of hours in finding family equivalents. He
recognized a big problem and developed a wonderful
solution.CHEMICAL INFORMATION BULLETIN
