Sponsors

I would like to express our gratitude to the invaluable support of our Sponsors

Merck Research Laboratories, Schering-Plough Research Institute, Johnson

& Johnson PR&D, the Cambridge Crystallographic Data Centre (CCDC), SimBioSys

and Tripos.



Poster Session

We will be running poster sessions in the evenings at the meeting with themes:

knowledge management (Tuesday), drug design (Wednesday) and drug development

and ADMET (Thursday). This option is available to all meeting attendees

and we will include all approved abstracts received by 31 August on the

formal program. Please send your abstract and biography of ca. 300-500 words

each to eCheminfo (!-at-!) douglasconnect.com for approval.



Invited Speakers:

Stephen Burley (SGX Pharmaceuticals), Georgia McGaughey (Merck), Charles

Lesburg (Schering-Plough), Rick Beger (FDA), Marc Nicklaus (NIH), Woody

Sherman (Schrodinger), Daniel Cheney (Bristol Myers Squibb), Paul Labute

(Chemical Computing Group), Ajay Jain (UCSF), Alan Cheng (Amgen), Tony Hopfinger

(University of New Mexico), Anthony Klon (Pharmacopeia Drug Discovery),

Artem Cherkasov (University of British Columbia), Dennis Pelletier (Pfizer),

Chaohong Sun (Abbott), Xavier Barril (University of Barcelona), Jose Duca

(Schering-Plough), Terry Stouch (Lexicon Pharmaceuticals), Natasja Brooijmans

(Wyeth), Gerard Kleywegt (University of Uppsala), Vladimir Poroikov (Russian

Academy of Sciences), Christoph Helma (in silico toxicology), Ann Richard

(EPA), Judy Madden (Liverpool John Moores University), Julian Tirado-Rives

(Yale), Heather Carlson (University of Michigan), Joseph Tomaszewski (NCI),

Joseph Contrera (FDA), Christopher Austin (NIH), Jerome Hert (UCSF), Renate

Sekul (Graffinity)



Workshops

In addition to what I believe will be an excellent conference program and

discussions, we will also be running hands-on workshops working on the nuances

and subtleties of applying leading design and modeling software to practical

drug discovery problems. Often in computational chemistry, small changes

in feature or parameter selection can have a significant effect on your

results, so this is an opportunity to pick up tips, tricks and awareness.

Seminars and Hands-on Workshops will be given by leading software application

scientists including SimBioSys, Tripos, OpenEye, and CCDC. A one day pre-meeting

workshop on best practices in virtual screening will take place on Monday

October 15. (Reference: target="_blank">http://barryhardy.blogs.com/cheminfostream/virtual_screening/index.html
