<B>The University of Siena</B> is pleased to announce the Second European
Workshop in Drug Design, to be held in Certosa di Pontignano (Siena),
Italy, from May 17-24, 1998 and co-sponsored by <B>Molecular Simulations,
Inc.</B>, and <B>Silicon Graphics, Inc.</B> This workshop, which follows
up the very successful First European Workshop in Drug Design, held in
Cortona on May 1995, will feature 20 well known researchers from the pharmaceutical
industry, including directors of research, working with a total of 45 workshop
participants.
<BR>Participants will be divided into <B>two teams</B>, each team led by
a tutor, and will focus on <B>solving concrete problems in drug design</B>
using high level hardware and software tools, including 20 workstations
and a server contributed by Silicon Graphics. Talks and case studies
will be interdisciplinary, touching upon molecular biology, site directed
drug design, combinatorial chemistry, metabolism, and synthetic feasibility.
<P>The following scientists have already agreed to give <B>lectures</B>:
D. Agrafiotis, R. Bohacek, G. Bolis, G. Cruciani, G. Folkers, P. Goodford,
H.-D. Hoeltje, T. Hubbard, J. M. Jansen, H. Kubinyi, A. Lesk, G. R. Marshall,
E. Martin, C. McMartin, T. I. Oprea, J. P. Snyder, A. Tafi, J. P. Tollenaere,
A. Tramontano, E. Walters.
<P>With the purpose to stimulate helpful discussions, attendees will be
invited to present in <B>poster format</B> their own research problems.
<P>Participation in the Second European Workshop in Drug Design is limited
to <B>45 applicants</B>, selected on the basis of individual experience.
<B>To apply</B>, please submit your name, address, affiliation, and primary
area of research, along with a curriculum vitae, by fax or mail to:
