Internet Drug Design Course

[John Overington]

  We (Peter Murray-Rust of Glaxo Wellcome, and John Overington of Pfizer) 
would like to announce an initiative in industrial training for medicinal
chemists interested in applying protein structure-based drug design (SBDD)
techniques as part of their jobs. Additionally, skills in effectively using
the internet as a scientific resource will also be developed. The course will
use self-paced, internet-based training, coupled to close contact with
course 'tutors', working in the pharmaceutical industry.

  We are currently looking for further partners to offer financial support,
and course material. Partners need to have a presence in the UK to qualify for
potential funding under a Technology Foresight grant; although the basic
course material will be generally accessible over the internet to the wider
community.

  Further details, and a draft prospectus can be found at
http://www.cryst.bbk.ac.uk/SBDD/course.html

  If you have any further questions, we would be pleased to answer them.
