 Second Swiss Course on Medicinal Chemistry
 6-11 October 1996, Leysin, Switzerland
 organized by
 the Section of Medicinal Chemistry of the
 New Swiss Chemical Society
 SCOPE OF THE COURSE
 The course on medicinal chemistry offers to young scientists with a few
 years of experience in the pharmaceutical industry and interested Ph.D.
 students a broad overview of disciplines involved in modern preclinical drug
 research. The development of integrative abilities is a prerequisite to
 function in todays multidisciplinary drug discovery teams. The course is set
 up for synthetic organic chemists, as well as biologists and pharmacologists
 and those involved in drug design and the physicochemical characterization
 of biologically active compounds. Active participation by the participants
 in tutorials and the presentation of three case histories are important
 parts of the course.
