Subject: 07.05.26 BioComputational Chemistry Symposium at the CSC2007 (90th Canadian Chemistry Conference and Exhibition)
This two days Symposium on BioComputational Chemistry will take place as a part of 
the 90th Canadian Chemistry Conference and Exhibition (CSC2007) in May 26-30, 2007, 
in Winnipeg, Manitoba, Canada. 

The Symposium will cover topics stretching from method development to computational 
studies of biochemical and medicinal systems. The interplay between theory and
experiment is particularly welcome.
