Registrants for the US meeting will also be able to access the full proceedings with audio of the equivalent European meeting being held in Basel, Switzerland.
Poster Abstracts (ca. 300 words) should be sent to eCheminfo at douglasconnect.com
The InnovationWell US community of practice Autumn meeting will be taking place at the same location and on the same dates as the eCheminfo US meeting. This meeting will be covering semantic web applications in drug discovery, personalised medicine, knowledge management and transfer in R&D, clinical trial productivity, drug safety knowledge management and predictive toxicology. All eCheminfo registrants will also have access to the InnovationWell meeting activities. (See http://innovationwell.net/ for more details).
