Autumn InterAction Meeting Program on Drug Discovery & Development

I summarise below the list of sessions with over 100 top speakers and discussion leaders for the program listing for the upcoming Autumn InterAction Meetings taking place in Philadelphia and Basel. Please add a traceback or link for other like-minded folk to find!

I also provide an electronic brochure for download here for the InnovationWell Autumn Program on Knowledge-based Innovation in Life Science Product Development:

And the equivalent eCheminfo brochure on Drug Discovery:

Note: The poster sessions will be run as electronic poster sessions using tabletop spaces, a wireless network and Internet facilities at the meetings, in addition to virtual access through the website, i.e., the posters will be electronic but the access can be face-to-face or virtual. You can participate in person and virtually in the poster sessions.  We can supply nourishment and refreshments locally; remote participants may have to order out! [We also expect, subject to on-site testing, to have live conference call capabilities for remote participating members to join local discussions.]  Anyone interested in presenting such an "electronic poster" should directly contact us via email at innovationwell at douglasconnect.com

Look forward to seeing you in Philadelphia or Basel!

Combinatorial Screening of Polymeric Coating Formulations

Jaime Grunlan, Senior Research Engineer, Avery Research Centre, will present the following seminar at the eCombiChem “Cutting Edge Technologies in Combinatorial Chemistry” Web Conference running at http://ecombichem.com/, and opening 20th September 2004:

Combinatorial Screening of Polymeric Coating Formulations

A combinatorial factory for the preparation and screening of polymeric coatings is outlined here. The coating formulations are prepared and coated using a novel combinatorial coating technique to obtain combinatorial libraries of varying composition and thickness. The thickness of each film in a combinatorial array is rapidly determined via visible-light absorbance of optical dyes in conjunction with the Beer-Lambert relationship. These combinatorial libraries are then tested and screened using a variety of custom-made high-throughput methods. Combinatorial screening of oxygen and moisture transmission rate, along with pressure-sensitive adhesive properties, is presented. OTR and MVTR are determined using spectrometric techniques. For adhesion, a spherical probe adhesive tester is able to generate parameters linked to tack, peel, and shear in one measurement. In addition to describing the testing methodology, benefits and shortcomings of these techniques will be highlighted.
