[BBC] One-day symposium on in-silico drug design

[Marc Lensink]

Dear colleagues,

The Lille bioinformatics platform, bilille, is organizing a one-day
symposium on the use of molecular modeling for computer-aided drug
design.

Recent years have seen a rapid development of molecular modeling and
docking techniques in combination with high-throughput protein
crystallography.  These novel methods have allowed many a success
story in the computer-assisted discovery of new drugs and has helped
structure-based drug design to become increasingly effective in the
development of target-based therapies.  During this one-day symposium,
a panel of experts will introduce, discuss and illustrate these
techniques.

The meeting will be held at the lecture hall of Campus CNRS Haute
Borne in Villeneuve d'Ascq, next to Lille, France.

Confirmed speakers are:
* Martine Prevost - Université Libre de Bruxelles
* Eric Henon - Université de Reims
* Anna Gaulton - EMBL
* Philippe Chavatte - Faculté de Pharmacie, Université de Lille
* Henriette Willems - Takeda Cambridge
* Jerome de Ruyck - UGSF, Université de Lille

There is no registration fee, but registration is required for
participation.  The number of places is limited.  Lunch is offered.

For more information, send an e-mail to any member of the organizing
committee (marc.lensink, guillaume.brysbaert or helene.touzet, all

cheers,
