Warren Lyford DeLano和Pymol

川大-灰太狼

Pymol的创始人Warren Lyford DeLano

DeLano于1972年6月21日出生于费城，在耶鲁大学接受教育，在那里他帮助制作了校园幽默杂志耶鲁记录。

2000年，他推出了PyMOL开源软件，试图证明开源可能对新药的发现产生实际影响。从那时起，PyMOL已被广泛用于制药行业和公共部门研究机构的分子结构可视化。

2003年，DeLano成立了DeLano Scientific LLC，将PyMOL商业化，并在“市场实验室”中开展了一项关于开源软件公司商业可行性的实验。

他的假设是开源软件本质上是科学的最佳选择，提供开源解决方案的科学软件公司将通过自由市场竞争最终取代专有解决方案的公司。

很遗憾，这位天才于2009年11月3日在加利福尼亚州帕洛阿尔托的家中意外死亡。

2009年，美国生物化学与分子生物物理学会在沃伦的荣誉中创立了DeLano计算生物科学奖。

该奖项旨在表彰科学家最容易获得和创新的计算机技术开发或应用，以加强分子水平的生命科学研究。

2009年12月，其课题组负责人在Nature Structural & Molecular Biology发表祭文。
