In particular, speakers will discuss optimising the chances of discovery resulting from applications of informatics technologies." To give a few keywords: in-silico metabolic pathways, virtual screening, bioinformatics and society, computer-aided drug discovery to improve attrition rates, representation of chemical information (CML/XML) and applications of electronic notebooks will be discussed. Speakers include Johann Gasteiger (University of Erlangen, Germany), Peter Willett (University of Sheffield, England), Michael Ashburner (European Bioinformatics Institute, Cambridge, England), Jonathan Mason (Pfizer Global Research & Development), Peter Murray-Rust (University of Cambridge, England) and Allan Ferguson (Merck & Co.). More information can be found at http://www.mmsconferencing.com/informatics.html and the complete program can be downloaded from http://www.mmsconferencing.com/pdf/New_Horizons_Brochure_final.pdf For those interested and staying overnight I can also offer a guided tour through the historical pubs of Cambridge after the symposium.
