[Computational-biology] CFP - Latest Advances in Drug Discovery Informatics: eCheminfo 2009 InterAction Meeting; Philadelphia Oct 09. Bursary Awards available.

[Robby]

This is the first announcement for this year’s meeting.  While it is
several months away, deadline for abstract submission is February 28
and the bursary award application deadline is March 31.

This annual community of practice meeting is taking place for the
fifth time and brings together a unique combination of pharmaceutical
and healthcare industry experts, principal investigators and
researchers from the academic and government sectors, and leaders from
innovative enterprises.  The smaller and more intimate meeting format
pursued has fostered the type of collaboration not always found at
large conferences.
