The eCheminfo 2009 community of practice meeting on drug discovery informatics will take place at Bryn Mawr College, Philadelphia 13-16 October 2009.
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.
The preliminary program with abstracts received so far is now available at http://echeminfo.com/COMTY_conferencesprog09 and will be updated as remaining abstracts are received.
The topics addressed this year will include Structure-based Drug Design Applications and Methods, Macromolecular Interactions and Networks, Data Analysis and Visualisation, PDB Ligands, and Predictive Toxicology.
A pre-conference best practices workshop on Binding Energy prediction will take place October 12, 2009.
This meeting will take place concurrently with the InnovationWell 2009 meeting addressing the topics of Collaboration in Discovery and Development, Translational Bioinformatics, Systems Biology and Biomarkers, Blood Brain Barrier modeling and Predictive Toxicology.
Below is a short summary of the program.
