Highlighting the very latest modeling results and technologies applied to drug discovery

It is our pleasure to invite you to attend the Fall 2008 Schrödinger User Symposium, to be held in London, UK, from October 26-28. The Symposium will take place at the historic Charing Cross Hotel , a four-star Victorian railway hotel close to Trafalgar Square and walking distance from many of the major London attractions.

The Symposium includes two days filled with presentations by leading speakers from industry and academia, focusing on recent scientific advances and applications in molecular modeling for Life Sciences. Confirmed speakers include:

Richard Friesner - Columbia University, New York
Emanuela Gancia - Argenta Discovery, Harlow
Eleonora Gianti - Congenia, Milano
Victor Guallar - Barcelona Supercomputing Center
Alexander Hillisch - Bayer HealthCare, Wuppertal
Anne Marie Jorgensen - Lundbeck, Copenhagen
István Kolossváry - D. E. Shaw Research, New York
Jonathan Mason - Lundbeck, Copenhagen
Irilenia Nobeli - Birkbeck College, London
Ulf Norinder - AstraZeneca, Södertälje
Martin Packer - AstraZeneca, Alderley Park
Shaughn Robinson - Pfizer, Groton
Christian Rummey - Santhera Pharmaceuticals, Liestal
Marek Strajbl - EPIX Pharmaceuticals, Ramat Gan

Schrödinger will also present a firsthand look at forthcoming technology. There will be time for hands-on software training, and opportunities to meet one-on-one with Schrödinger applications scientists, developers and product managers.

Our scheduled activities include a welcome reception on Sunday, and a riverside dinner on Monday at a restaurant close to the Charing Cross Hotel. The final program will be sent to all registered participants. When making your travel arrangements please note that the schedule of activities will start on Sunday, Oct. 26th at 16.00 and end on Tuesday Oct. 28th at 17.00.
