This workshop, which follows up the two very successful previous editions held respectively in Cortona on May 1995 and Siena on May 1998, will feature about 20 well known researchers from the University and the pharmaceutical industry, including directors of research, working with a total 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 structure-based drug design; ligand-based drug design; in silico drug metabolism and pharmacokinetics; database mining; combinatorial chemistry; pseudoreceptor modelling; pharmacophore identification and receptor mapping. The following scientists have already agreed to give lectures: S. Boyer, G. Cruciani, A. Di Nola, G. Folkers, P. Goodford, H.-D. Hoeltje, J. M. Jansen, H. Kubinyi, T. Langer, G. R. Marshall, T. I. Oprea, W. Sippl, J. P. Snyder, A. Tafi, I. Zamora. With the purpose to stimulate helpful discussions, attendees will be invited to present in poster format their own research problems. Participation in the Third European Workshop in Drug Design is limited to 45 applicants, selected on the basis of individual experience. To apply, please submit your name, address, affiliation, and primary area of research, along with a curriculum vitae, by fax or mail to: Third European Workshop in Drug Design, Università di Siena, Prof. Maurizio Botta Dipartimento Farmaco Chimico Tecnologico, Via Aldo Moro - 53100 Siena, Italy Fax: +39-0577-234333 Fee for participation is U.S. $ 2,000 and includes all meals and hotel accommodation in two-bed rooms for seven nights. Some financial aid will be available for applicants. Deadline for receiving applications is March 31, 2001.
