Final Announcement: MSI Symposium

[Mark C. Wahle]

*** Second and Final Announcement ***

Molecular Simulations announces a major International Symposium, "New
Approaches in Pharmaceutical Development".  This event will be held on
February 19th and 20th, 1998, in San Diego, California.

As shown below in the Symposium program, the main topics will be new
computational and experimental techniques relevant to the
crystallization
and formulation of organic compounds.  The event will be of interest to
anyone involved in pharmaceutical development, as well as researchers
and
managers in industries such as agrochemicals, pigments, explosives, and
other fine chemicals.

This Symposium will be held immediately after the first worldwide
meeting
of MSI’s Pharmaceutical Development Consortium.  The Consortium brings
together commercial research organizations, MSI’s expert staff, and a
panel
of academic advisors to drive a research program focused on developing
simulation methods to address problems in pharmaceutical development and

formulation.

Registration for the Symposium is free of charge and includes lunches,
reception, and the Symposium dinner.  The venue will be the Princess
Resort
Island in Mission Bay, San Diego, which combines an idyllic setting with

state-of-the-art facilities and services.

Attendees are cordially invited to present their work at the poster
session.  If you are interested in attending, please contact Deborah
Kelso
at MSI’s headquarters in San Diego (fax +1 (619) 458-0136, or e-mail
dak at msi.com).  Further details will be posted at MSI’s web site,
