- Ability to run under the KNIME workflow manager in addition to Pipeline Pilot™

Mr. John DiBella, vice president for marketing and sales for Simulations Plus, added: “This interim release of ADMET Predictor addresses a number of requested features that we wanted to deploy to our users as soon as possible rather than wait for the next major release.
