Subject: 08.03.29 Computer-Aided Drug Design Conference, Sheraton Steamboat Springs, Colorado
Computer-Aided Drug Design (D1) Organizers: Kenneth M. Merz, Jr., Charles H. Reynolds and Dagmar Ringe March 29 - April 3, 2008 Sheraton Steamboat Resort Steamboat Springs, Colorado http://www.keystonesymposia.org/8D1 Organized by Kenneth M. Merz, Jr., Charles H. Reynolds, and Dagmar Ringe, this conference will bring leading academic and industrial researchers together to discuss the many facets of computer-aided approaches to drug discovery. The goal of this meeting is to cover the use and development of cutting-edge theoretical computational methods for structure-based design, ligand-based design, ADME/tox modeling, and homology modeling. Case studies that illustrate the interface between modeling, structural biology, and medicinal chemistry will also be presented. The meeting will emphasize how computational approaches can be used to address many of the key issues in drug discovery. A keynote address by Irwin D. Kuntz of UC San Francisco to start the conference on March 29 will be followed by four days of plenary session presentations and short talks by more than 20 different academic and industry speakers. Evening poster sessions and refreshment breaks provide an opportunity for one-on-one interaction with the speakers, while afternoon free time allows for skiing and other recreational pursuits. The Keystone Symposia format provides an extraordinary opportunity for a broad array of computational chemists, structural biologists, and medicinal chemists to meet and exchange ideas on the newest approaches to using structure and modeling to discover new pharmaceuticals.NOTE THAT E-MAIL ADDRESSES HAVE BEEN MODIFIED!!!
