Dear Newsgroup Monitor,
I thought your readers might be interested in the following information
and wondered if it might be possible for you to post the press release
below.
I'm not sure about the rules of your newsgroup and wanted to run it by
you first.
Thank you for your help,

THE IMPACT OF COMPUTATIONAL MOLECULAR AND CHEMICAL MODELING ON
THE BIOMEDICAL FIELD
UC Berkeley Extension will offer a three-day course, "An Overview of
Computational Chemistry for Biomedical Applications," on Mon., Nov. 17
through Wed., Nov.19, from 9 am to 5 pm at UC Extension Downtown, 150
Fourth St., San Francisco. Course fee is $1,295 and includes computer
use, connect time and extensive course materials. Those registering 30
days in advance receive a $50 discount. Team enrollments may be
discounted to $1,195 per person for three or more people. (Early
registration discounts do not apply to team enrollments.) For a
brochure, call (415) 323-8143 or e-mail eiw at unx.berkeley.edu To
register, call (510) 642-4111 or visit the course website at
http://www.unex.berkeley.edu:4243/chem
Instructors are Michael Colvin, Ph.D., a research chemist in the Biology
and Biotechnology Research Program at Lawrence Livermore National
Laboratories, and Douglas Henry, Ph.D., a senior scientist at MDL
Information Systems, Inc.
This hands-on course introduces computer-assisted molecular modeling,
with an emphasis on practical application of the simulations and on
understanding the strengths and limitations of different methods.
Participants will gain an overview of the range of chemical modeling
methods from first-principles quantum chemistry on small biochemicals to
hueristic homology-searching on large proteins. The computer lab will be
open for three hours at end of each day's session for the completion of
course labs and work on modeling projects related to private research.
