BioFinder is a cutting-edge, integrated life sciences workflow solution designed for early-stage preclinical research and drug discovery. Developed by Chemical Abstracts Service (CAS), a division of the American Chemical Society (ACS), the platform is an essential tool for researchers, faculty, and students in pharmacy, medicinal chemistry, biochemistry, molecular biology, and related biomedical fields.

The resource seamlessly connects biological sequences, chemical structures, metabolic pathways, and ligand-protein interactions. This allows researchers to effectively model molecular behavior, perform high-throughput screening, and validate biological targets before stepping into the laboratory.

BioFinder, just like SciFinder (from the same producer), uses authentication using institutional Single Sign‑On (SSO), i.e. a Palacký University institutional login using university data valid for the Portal UP.

Access is available directly at https://biofinder.cas.org; enter your university email, select Access through Palacky University, and log in the same way as the Portal UP.
The remote access link (Shibboleth, listed below) leads directly to the Palacký University institutional login.

My Profile personal account (CAS Profile):

• It is created automatically for a new user upon first login.
• In case of an existing SciFinder account, this one will be used.

It is also possible to access BioFinder via SciFinder, where it appears as a separate item in the menu.
