University

and the Pharmaceutical Industry, including directors
of research,

working with a maximum number of 45 workshop participants.

Participants will be divided into teams, each team led

and will focus on solving concrete problems in drug design

using high level hardware and software tools,

including 20 workstations and a server contributed by
SGI.

Talks and case studies will be interdisciplinary, touching
upon

ligand/structure based drug design,

in silico ADME,

design and screening of virtual libraries,

molecular modelling methodologies,

molecular biology and synthetic feasibility, etc.

Participation in the Fourth European Workshop in Drug
Design is limited to

45 applicants, selected on the basis of
individual experience.

Deadline for receiving applications,
