CCL: Announcing Special CINF Symposium on Fragment-Based Ligand Design at the Spring National ACS Meeting March 2009 Salt Lake City, Utah



Hi CCL net members:

 

I am organizing a special symposium for the CINF division at the National ACS Spring 2009 Meeting (March 22-26, 2009) to be held in Salt Lake City, Utah on Fragment Based Drug Design.

 

This is a description of the symposium:

Library Design, Search Methods and Applications of Fragment-Based Drug Design

Computational methodologies used for fragment library and scaffold design, optimization, and computational fragment docking, growing and linking techniques.  Successful applications of these computational techniques which demonstrate enhanced conformational space sampling and novel lead generation with increased chemical diversity.

 

I would like to invite you all to participate through attendance and/or

by giving a presentation at the symposium.  

 

All abstracts must be submitted through the ACS online OASYS system, which for this symposium

will be available beginning August 25th The abstract submission URL will be

http://oasys.acs.org/acs/237nm/cinf/papers/index.cgi

25th August - OASYS author submission opens

20th October - OASYS author submission closes

3rd November - OASYS closes to symposium organizers)

 

We are also looking for sponsors for the Symposium, so if any of you are members

of organizations or companies that might be interested in taking a role in sponsorship,

please contact me.

 

I am really hoping to organize an outstanding symposium and I hope

that you will all help in achieving that goal. If you have any suggestions for speakers or recommendations,

I would appreciate any input to make this an interesting and stimulating

symposium.

 

Thanks, and Best Regards,

Rachelle
