title: The impact of new technologies on drug design.
abstract: The Cutting Edge Approaches to Drug Design symposium, held March 13, 2001, in London, U.K., was organized by the Royal Society of Chemistry's Molecular Modelling Group and the Structural Biology Group of the Biochemical Society. The symposium was aimed primarily at medicinal chemists keen to discover how cutting edge methods can accelerate drug design. The talks were aimed at the nonspecialist, and topics included target finding, virtual screening, informatics in lead optimization and in silico pharmacokinetic profiling. Several examples demonstrated the power of these methods.
