The University of Siena is pleased to announce the

Fourth European Workshop in Drug Design

to be held in Certosa di  Pontignano (Siena), Italy, from

May 25 - June 01, 2003.

This workshop, which follows up the three very successful previous editions,
held respectively in Cortona on May 1995,
and in Siena on May 1998 and June 2001,
will feature about 20 well known researchers from the University
and the Pharmaceutical Industry, including directors of research,
working with a maximum number of 45 workshop participants.

Participants will be divided into teams, each team led by a tutor,
and will focus on solving concrete problems in drug design
using high level hardware and software tools,
including 20 workstations and a server contributed by SGI.

Talks and case studies will be interdisciplinary, touching upon
ligand/structure based drug design,
in silico ADME,
design and screening of virtual libraries,
molecular modelling methodologies,
molecular biology and synthetic feasibility, etc.
 

Participation in the Fourth European Workshop in Drug Design is limited to
  45 applicants, selected on the basis of individual experience.

Deadline for receiving applications,
fee for participation, web page address, etc.,
will be available in about a week and provided by a second circular.
