Medicinal Chemistry--XVth EFMC International Symposium. New technologies in drug discovery. 6-10 September 1998, Edinburgh, Scotland, UK.
This report summarizes the new technologies in drug discovery session of a five-day symposium organized by the Royal Society of Chemistry, Perkin Division, and the Biological and Medicinal Chemistry Sector of the Industrial Affairs Division on behalf of the European Federation of Medicinal Chemistry. The objective of this international symposium, which was attended by over 1000 participants from 48 different countries, was to appeal to all scientists interested in drug discovery from lead identification to lead optimization. The session on new technologies focused on those tools currently being used in these processes, with particular emphasis on new developments. There were seven supporting sessions on specific molecular target classes and one on the prediction of drug metabolism and pharmacokinetics. In addition, there were over 350 supporting posters held in two separate sessions.
