****************************************************************************** EXTENDED DEADLINE CALL FOR PAPERS Upcoming ACS Meeting "Computers in Chemistry" , San Diego, California, March 13-17, 2016 DEADLINE ABSTRACT SUBMISSION: October 12th, 2015 ****************************************************************************** It is a great pleasure to announce the 251st ACS National Meeting & Exposition Theme : "Computers in Chemistry", which will take place in San Diego in March 13-17, 2016. On behalf of the CINF Programming Committee for ACS Meeting, I encourage you to submit your abstracts to our CINF symposia, especially the symposium which I am organizing: "Towards the integration of Quantitative and Systems Pharmacology into drug discovery: a systems level understanding of therapeutic and toxic effects of drugsâ, cosponsored by MEDI and TOXI ACS divisions http://www.acs.org/content/acs/en/meetings/abstract-submissions/acsnm251/division-of-chemical-information.html Brief description of the symposium: Over the past three decades, the predominant paradigm in drug discovery was designing selective ligands for a specific target to avoid unwanted side effects. However, in the last 5 years, the aim has shifted to take into account the biological network in which they interact. Quantitative and Systems Pharmacology (QSP) is a new paradigm that aims to understand how drugs modulate cellular networks in space and time, in order to predict drug targets and their role in human pathophysiology. The goal of this symposium is to go trough the current computational and experimental QSP approaches such as polypharmacology techniques combined with systems biology information and consider the use of new tools and ideas in a wider âsystems-levelâ context in order to design new drugs with improved efficacy and fewer unwanted off-target effects. Abstracts may be submitted via the ACS online Program & Abstract Creation System (PACS) at: https://acsmaps.abstractcentral.com/members/client/acs.jsp. You do not have to be an ACS member to create an account for PACS (although if you have a login for the ACS site, you can use that). PACS is open for abstract submissions and it will close to authors on October 12th 2016 for CINF Division.

I look forward to hearing from you and hope you can join us in San Diego in March 2016! Please, accept my apologies if this message reached someone not interested in the subject. Please, contact me if you do not want any further related news about future events in order not to be included in the mailing list.
