Philadelphia Symposium on Cheminformatics Opportunities in Personalized Medicine and Chemogenomics.
We are accepting submissions of abstracts for consideration for an ACS Division of Chemical Information (CINF) Symposium on Cheminformatics Opportunities in Personalized Medicine and Chemogenomics.
This session will bring together researchers investigating computational chemistry and cheminformatics to study the development of drugs based on our knowledge of genomes and to develop better methods to personalize medicine. This broad and multidisciplinary session will explore the major challenges in drug discovery and development where innovation in computational approaches and tools can really make a significant and tangible contribution towards novel and personalized treatments.
You should contribute to and attend this session if you are a researcher interested in drug discovery, metabolism and personalized medicine, or developing or using computational approaches to the development of therapeutics, or if you are a key decision maker in a pharmaceutical or biotechnology company.
Contributions could include but are not limited to the areas of:
- Clinical implications of individual genomes;
- Metabolism and biomarkers;
- Computational systems biology;
- Discovery of chemical probes;
- Modelling xenobiotic metabolism.
Presentations will be 40 minutes, including time for questions. The deadline for submitting an abstract for consideration is March 30, 2012.
Abstracts may be submitted via: http://abstracts.acs.org.
Please contact the co-organizers if you have any questions and to discuss a paper.
