The appointment marks the opening of Optibrium’s new office in Cambridge, MA, USA and represents the next phase in the company’s expansion plans and business growth, driven by the rapid adoption of its StarDrop™ software.

Tamsin will be responsible for Optibrium’s operations in North America, supporting the company’s existing client base and leading the development of new business opportunities for StarDrop and the company’s full range of products for small molecule design, optimisation and data analysis. Tamsin has over 10 years of experience developing, supporting and selling computational modelling and chemoinformatics software.

Optibrium’s StarDrop software suite helps researchers to deliver optimally balanced, successful compounds. It brings confidence and intuitive simplicity to decision making; guiding and validating the direction taken by project teams and which compounds are prioritised. StarDrop works by evaluating project teams’ complex data, which is often uncertain because of experimental variability or predictive error. Its interactive tools then enable researchers to efficiently explore ways to further improve their chosen compounds.
