QSAR - Emerging Technologies winner

Hi,

I've received some inquires about who was the winning speaker at
the Symposium on Emerging Technologies in Computational Chemistry,
held at the ACS National Meeting in Boston, Massachusetts last month.

Mr. Nitin Rathore, a graduate student of Distinguished Professor
Juan J. de Pablo (Department of Chemical Engineering, University of
Wisconsin-Madison), won the $1000 prize sponsored by Schrodinger Inc.
The talk was entitled "Monte Carlo simulation of proteins through a
random walk in energy space."

All speakers at the symposium received a free one-year subscription
to the Journal of Molecular Graphics and Modelling sponsored by
Elsevier Science. The subscriptions were announced by the editor,
Prof. Andy Holder (University of Missouri, Kansas City). The
journal is published in affiliation with the ACS COMP Division.

The objective of the symposium is to stimulate, reward, and
publicize significant methodological advances in computational
chemistry.

Further information about the symposium will be posted on the
ACS COMP website.

Thanks, Don

Donald B. Boyd, Ph.D.
