CAS, a division of the American Chemical Society (ACS) that specializes in scientific information solutions, has launched a new brand reflecting the broadening scope of its solutions and capabilities critical to advancing scientific discovery. This new brand mirrors the organization’s on-going evolution to enable new and smarter uses of scientific information as a partner to R&D leaders pursuing more efficient, collaborative, and customized innovation models.
This launch is the culmination of global research and consultation with stakeholders across commercial, academic and government segments to distil the most impactful elements that CAS provides as an innovation partner. The new brand embodies the unique role CAS plays in creating connections between discoveries being made around the world to accelerate breakthroughs. The new logo evolves the molecular icon, whose three colors represent the hindsight, insight and foresight that are foundational to scientific discovery.
CAS’s scientific legacy spans over a century. An early pioneer in digitalizing scientific information in the 1960s, CAS scientists and technologists developed the first algorithm to encode two-dimensional chemical structure information into a computer-readable and searchable format. CAS REGISTRY®, the world’s largest collection of curated information on chemical substances and biosequences, recently surpassed a major milestone adding its 250 millionth registered substance – a hybrid oligonucleotide with potential application in quality control for mRNA drugs and vaccines disclosed in a recent patent application from Moderna, Inc.
