 It is a great pleasure to announce the 251st ACS National Meeting &
 Exposition Theme : "Computers
 in Chemistry", which will take place in San Diego in March 13-17, 2016.
 On behalf of the CINF Programming Committee for ACS Meeting, I encourage you to
 submit your
 abstracts to our CINF symposia,  especially the symposium which I am organizing:
 "Towards the integration of Quantitative and Systems Pharmacology into drug
 discovery: a systems
 level understanding of therapeutic and toxic effects of drugs", cosponsored
 by MEDI and TOXI ACS
 divisions
 http://www.acs.org/content/acs/en/meetings/abstract-submissions/acsnm251/division-of-
 chemical-information.html
 Brief description of the symposium:
 Over the past three decades, the predominant paradigm in drug discovery was
 designing selective
 ligands for a specific target to avoid unwanted side effects. However, in the
 last 5 years, the aim has
 shifted to take into account the biological network in which they interact.
 Quantitative and Systems
 Pharmacology (QSP) is a new paradigm that aims to understand how drugs modulate
 cellular networks
 in space and time, in order to predict drug targets and their role in human
 pathophysiology.
 The goal of this symposium is to go trough the current computational and
 experimental QSP
 approaches such as polypharmacology techniques combined with systems biology
 information and
 consider the use of new tools and ideas in a wider 'systems-level' context in
 order to design new
 drugs with improved efficacy and fewer unwanted off-target effects.
 Abstracts may be submitted via the ACS online Program & Abstract Creation
 System (PACS) at:
 https://acsmaps.abstractcentral.com/members/client/acs.jsp.
 You do not have to be an ACS member
 to create an account for PACS (although if you have a login for the ACS site,
 you can use that). PACS is
 open for abstract submissions and it will close to authors on October 5th 2016
 for CINF Division. You
 can learn more about American Chemical Society Meetings by visiting the website
 http://www.acs.org/content/acs/en/meetings.html
 Please do not hesitate to contact me if you have any questions. I look forward
 to hearing from you and
 hope you can join us in San Diego in March 2016!
 Best regards,
 Violeta Isabel Perez Nueno
