January 8, 2010:  PyMOL acquired by Schrödinger

NEW YORK, NY (January 8, 2010) - Schrödinger announced today that it has reached an agreement with the estate of the late Dr. Warren L. DeLano to continue the development, support, and sales of the PyMOL software package.

PyMOL is a best-in-class interactive visualization and presentation molecular modeling environment used by scientists worldwide. Prior to his unexpected passing on November 3, 2009, PyMOL's creator, Dr. Warren DeLano, had been working closely with Schrödinger for over a year, and in constant discussions concerning ways to progressively integrate the companies' products. "It is with a heavy heart and a great sense of humility that we pick up Warren's mantle," said Dr. Ramy Farid, Schrödinger's President, "Warren was a true visionary who will be greatly missed; we're humbled to be chosen to pick up where he left off and will strive to honor his memory by continuing in the spirit and tradition of PyMOL."

Under the agreement, Schrödinger will take over continued development and maintenance, as well as support and sales of PyMOL, including all current subscriptions. Schrödinger will also continue to actively support the open-source community of PyMOL. "Warren really enjoyed working with the folks at Schrödinger," said Ms. Beth Pehrson, the late Dr. DeLano's wife, "I know this is what Warren wanted for PyMOL's future."
