The conference will be held in Stephenson Hall, University of Sheffield, UK from 9th to 11th April 2001. Offers of papers are welcomed in all aspects of lead discovery. Possible topics include (but are not limited to): * 3D databases, including docking and pharmacophore analysis; * assay QC and its influence on data mining; * chemical data mining; * descriptor validation; * design of leadlike combinatorial libraries; * design of screening collections; * e-business to facilitate lead discovery; * novel software and hardware systems for lead discovery; * selective compound acquisition from in house and commercial suppliers; * similarity and clustering methods; * structure-activity methods for lead identification and early optimisation; * structure-based design for lead identification and early optimisation; * virtual screening; * case histories incorporating any of the above. Authors interested in submitting a paper for consideration should send a title and brief abstract to Val Gillet (v.gillet@sheffield.ac.uk) by 15th September 2000. Further details of the conference and registration information will follow later in the year and will be posted at www.shef.ac.uk/cisrg/shef2001. --- From owner-molreps@hgmp.mrc.ac.uk Mon Aug 7 15:36:17 2000 Return-Path: Received: by mercury.hgmp.mrc.ac.uk (Postfix, from userid 110) id C2F1E17B4C; Mon, 7 Aug 2000 15:36:16 +0100 (BST) Received: by mercury.hgmp.mrc.ac.uk (Postfix, from userid 60001) id DF0D217B4D; Mon, 7 Aug 2000 15:36:14 +0100 (BST) To: molreps@net.bio.net Newsgroups: bionet.molecules.repertoires From: Steve Heller Subject: ChemInt2000 hotel rooms Date: 7 Aug 2000 12:16:00 +0100 Organization: BIOSCI/MRC Human Genome Mapping Project Resource Centre Message-ID: Sender: owner-molreps@hgmp.mrc.ac.uk Precedence: bulk The Chemistry and the Internet (ChemInt2000) meeting being held at the Georgetown University conference center in Washington DC on September 23-26, 2000 (Saturday to Tuesday). Please note that the deadline for obtaining the hotel discount rate is August 26, 2000 (four weeks prior to the meeting). A limited number of room at the conference rate will be available for two days before and after the meeting. Last year (Spetmeber 1999) the hotel sold out, so be sure to reserve your rooms early! The deadline for posters for Chemistry & the Internet - ChemInt2000 is September 15, 2000. In addition to the previously announced program (www.chemnt.org), there are vendor workshops - from MDL, ACD Labs and SciVision. This year there will alos be a tutorial workshop on XML/CML, given by leaders in the field. The program of invited speakers and panel members of the e-commerce and intranet/internet panel sessions is available on the meeting web site - www.chemint.org You are urged to look at the program and to consider submitting a poster paper to the meeting and/or attending the meeting.
