The University of Siena is pleased to announce the
Fifth European Workshop in Drug Design
to be held in Certosa di Pontignano (Siena), Italy, from
May 27 - June 05, 2005.
This workshop, which follows up the four very successful previous editions,
held respectively in Cortona on May 1995,
and in Siena on May 1998, June 2001 and May 2003,
will feature about 20 well known researchers from the University
and the Pharmaceutical Industry, including directors of research,
working with a maximum number of 65 workshop participants.
Participants will be divided into teams, each team led by a tutor,
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,
cheminformatics/bioinformatics and synthetic feasibility, etc.
  Participation in the Fifth European Workshop in Drug Design is limited to
  65 applicants, selected on the basis of individual experience.
