We are identifying peptides and peptide analogs from combinatorial libraries with constrained structures that fit various MHC motifs. The peptides will be tested for the ability to bind to MHC and also to trigger T cells via the T cell receptor in cancer and autoimmunity models. The goal of this research is to identify and develop peptide analogs that stimulate anti-tumor T cells as well as peptide analogs that suppress autoimmune T cell function in autoimmunity models. Structure-fuction relationships of peptide analogs will allow us to better understand T cell responses. Duties and Responsibilities: Conduct research relating to petide synthesis and characterize novel peptides and peptide analogs. Perform systheses of peptides and peptide analogs. Participate in preliminary testing of peptides and peptide analogs. Submit manuscripts for publication to appropriate scientific, peer-reviewed journals. Participate in grant renewals and resubmissions. Provide assistance in training of staff and graduate students. Minimum Qualifications: Ph.D. in Chemistry, Biochemistry, Cancer Biology, Immunology, or Pharmacology. Preferred Qualifications: Individuals who possess experience in peptide chemistry and small molecules synthesis with a strong interest in immunology who also possess effective communications skills will be given preference. To apply, please submit cover letter, cv and two letters of reference to: Douglas F. Lake, Ph.D. 1515 N.

The symposium will be at the American Chemical Society National Meeting, Chicago, Illinois, USA, August 26-30, 2001. A $1000 prize, kindly sponsored by Schrodinger, Inc., will be to be presented for the best talk at the symposium. You are invited to participate. The talks will be evaluated by a Panel of Experts based on the impact the research will have on the future of computational chemistry and allied sciences. The symposium will be ideal for presenting your latest and best methodological advances. To participate, e-mail a 1000-word (text-only) abstract to me no later than March 1, 2001. The talks must be original and not be repeats of talks at other ACS symposia. Sincerely, Don Donald B.

It has been two years since the last big pharmacophore symposium and there are new developments and success stories out there. We will organize the papers with respect to applications, success stories, new approaches, as well as "creative use of pharmacophores," provided we can populate each category with enough papers. We will have a PC projector at each session; so don't hold back any of your colorful pharmacophore models. This is a great forum for you to share your experiences with scientists in your field, and benefit from others' experiences at the same time. You are likely to return home with several fresh ideas to apply to your research projects. Besides, first week of April in San Diego?.. can't possibly get any better than this. Help us make this symposium a memorable event by contributing with your recent work in this area.
