European Meeting on Drug Discovery Applications of Cheminformatics &
Modelling

Dear Osman, Alex:

And this below is the announcement for the equivalent European meeting.

Barry

eCheminfo European Autumn 2005 InterAction Meeting

The eCheminfo European Autumn 2005 meeting will be taking place at the
Swissotel L?entrée Conference Center, Basel, Switzerland, November 9-10.
Program information and registration is available through the eCheminfo
website at http://echeminfo.com/

The theme of the meeting is the application of cheminformatics and
chemical modelling to drug discovery and will include the following
sessions:

Virtual Screening, Docking & Scoring, chaired by Miklos Vargyas
(ChemAxon); Web-based Services in Drug Design, chaired by Kim Henrick
(European Bioinformatics Institute); Computational Biochemistry, chaired
by Alessandro Curioni (IBM Zurich); Applications of Machine Learning &
Graph Mining in Drug Discovery, chaired by Stefan Kramer (Technische
Universitaet Muenchen); Biosensors & Nanofluidics, Nick Quirke (Imperial
College London); Protein Folding and Dynamics, chaired by Wilfred van
Gunsteren (ETH-Zurich)

Invited Speakers include:
Graham Richards (University of Oxford), Xavier Barril (Vernalis), Amedeo
Caflisch (University of Zurich), David Morley (Enspiral Discovery Ltd),
Didier Rognan (University of Strasbourg), Dimitris Dimitropoulos (European
Bioinformatics Institute), Johann Gasteiger (Universitaet
Erlangen-Nuernberg), Simon Coles (University of Southampton), Eugene
Krissinel (European Bioinformatics Institute), Torsten Schwede (University
of Basel), Paul Tavan (University of Munich), Ursula Roethlisberger (Swiss
Federal Institute of Technology, Lausanne), Alessandro Curioni (IBM
Zurich), Ian Williams (University of Bath), Gerald Monard (Universite
Henri Poincare - Nancy), Ken Merz (QuantumBio), Nick Quirke (Imperial
College London), Richard Gilbert (E2v Technologies), Andrew De Mello

Carolina), Michele Vendruscolo (University of Cambridge)

The eCheminfo meetings will have exhibitor tables for software demos and
evening poster sessions; posters will also be available for viewing
through the website. Posters can be on any informatics or modeling topic
of relevance to drug discovery. Those who cannot make the meetings are
also able to register to access all presentations with audio and posters
through the eCheminfo website.

Poster Abstracts (ca. 300 words) should be sent to eCheminfo at
douglasconnect.com

Papers submitted with either seminar or poster presentations will be
refereed for consideration for publication in the Molecular Simulation
journal.

The InnovationWell European community of practice Autumn meeting will be
taking place at the same location and on the same dates as the eCheminfo
European meeting. This meeting will be covering semantic web applications
in drug discovery and development, life science intellectual property
management and valuation; knowledge management and transfer in R&D and
manufacturing, clinical trial productivity, drug safety knowledge
management and predictive toxicology. All eCheminfo registrants will also
have access to the InnovationWell meeting activities. (See
http://innovationwell.net/ for more details).

Please register early for the meetings as the number of places are
limited. You can register for the meeting on the website or contact Nicki
Douglas (nicki.douglas at douglasconnect.com, +41 61 851 0461) to reserve
your place.

What is the eCheminfo Community of Practice?
http://echeminfo.com/

eCheminfo is a global Community of Practice (CoP) dedicated to the sharing
of research and development of best practices in cheminformatics and
chemical modelling of relevance to drug discovery. The CoP involves a
diversity of subject matter expertise including experienced professionals
from the life science and pharmaceutical industry, vendors, research
institutes, universities and government.

eCheminfo is committed to the core value of outreach with diverse groups
in the commercial, government and academic sectors for the sharing of best
practices and the development of strategies, resources and methodologies
that address specific issues in improved drug discovery and productivity.
Communications activities deploy virtual approaches and a collaboration
environment, in addition to regional discussion- and networking-designed
face-to-face InterAction meetings. Membership includes access to over 100
seminars from top industry and academic experts, discussion conference
calls, and networking facilities.
