title: Meeting review: Bioinformatics and Medicine - from molecules to humans, virtual and real.
abstract: The Industrialization Workshop Series aims to promote and discuss integration, automation, simulation, quality, availability and standards in the high-throughput life sciences. The main issues addressed being the transformation of bioinformatics and bioinformaticsbased drug design into a robust discipline in industry, the government, research institutes and academia. The latest workshop emphasized the influence of the post-genomic era on medicine and healthcare with reference to advanced biological systems modeling and simulation, protein structure research, protein-protein interactions, metabolism and physiology. Speakers included Michael Ashburner, Kenneth Buetow, Francois Cambien, Cyrus Chothia, Jean Garnier, Francois Iris, Matthias Mann, Maya Natarajan, Peter Murray-Rust, Richard Mushlin, Barry Robson, David Rubin, Kosta Steliou, John Todd, Janet Thornton, Pim van der Eijk, Michael Vieth and Richard Ward.
