[Barry Hardy]

The eCheminfo Community of Practice InterAction Meeting "Latest Advances in 
Drug Discovery & Development" will take place 16-19 October 2006, Bryn 
Mawr, Philadelphia, USA.

The eCheminfo InterAction meeting will discuss the latest developments in 
virtual screening, structure-based drug design, reaction planning, 
medicinal chemistry and predictive toxicology supporting decision making in 
drug discovery & development. The meeting brings together researchers, 
industry experts and managers, academics and solution providers with a 
common interest of improving the productivity and effectiveness of modeling 
and informatics methods in drug discovery, design and development. In 
addition to meeting presentations, significant time at meetings is reserved 
for panel discussions, workshops, and evening poster session and networking 
activities.

A parallel InnovationWell Meeting on "Innovation in Life Science & 
Healthcare Research & Product Development" will also take place at the same 
location on the same dates. The InnovationWell Program will be 
concentrating on themes of relevance to FDA's Critical Path initiative 
including topics in Knowledge Management in Clinical and Translational 
Research, Decision Support for R&D, Metabolomics, Predictive Toxicology and 
Biomarkers & Systems Biology approaches.
