Colleagues,

I am pleased to announce that the symposium entitled
 The Bigger Picture: Linking Bioinformatics to
Cheminformatics  at the next ACS National Meeting
(Anaheim March 28 - April 1, 2004), has been
designated a plenary session with the confirmation of
a talk by Christopher A. Lipinski, Adjunct Senior
Research Fellow, Pfizer Global R&D, Groton Labs
(retired).  Dr. Lipinski will speak on  Technical and
people disconnects hindering knowledge exchange
between chemistry and biology.  The tentative date for
this symposium is Sunday, March 28, 2004.

You are invited to submit an abstract to help complete
the symposium!

> From a previous announcement:

Theme: Most life-science research organizations have
information systems for sequence data and for compound
data.  This symposium will explore what is being done
to bridge these two types of systems and provide an
integrated view that facilitates faster compound
discovery.  We welcome talks about information systems
in production, development, or planning. You can even
talk about what you wish you could build if you
could...  

Here are the details: 

- The best way to submit an abstract is on-line using
OASYS(http://oasys.acs.org/)

- Please e-mail or call me if you have trouble with
OASYS.

- The deadline for submissions is 1 December 2003.
(You can submit an abstract now and then make changes
until 1 December.)

- Target presentation length is 20 minutes, with 5
minutes for questions.  Please let me know if you need
more time.

- We especially welcome presentations from research
organizations working with bioinformatics and
cheminformatics.

- When planning your presentation, consider a back-up
person from your organization who could deliver your
talk if for any reason you cannot make it to the
meeting.

Questions are welcome!

Regards,

Mitch
