[LSG-RG] [LSG-RG} Meeting on Pharma

[Abbas Farazdel]

I suggest the presentation topic to be "Pharmaceutical R&D" instead of 
"Pharmacology" so that we would have a bigger umbrella to cover areas of 
interest. In particular, I suggest "In-silico Pharmaceutical R&D" (e.g., 
in-silico clinical development with simulated patients) which is of 
considerable interest to pharma companies for pre-clinical development and 
even patient care situations. 

Some of the Independent Software Vendor companies in this area are Gene 
Network Sciences, Immunetrics, Entelos, GenStruct, Optimata, Genomatica, 
and Pharsight. In fact we can have people from these companies or the 
customers of these companies present at the workshop. What do you think?

[LSG-RG] [LSG-RG} Meeting on Pharma






Dear all:

This is an e-mail message regarding the Life Science Grid Research Group 
(LSG-RG) in the Open Grid Forum (OGF), formerly the Global Grid Forum 
(GGF).

I sent out last month asking for input regarding a proposed meeting 
regarding proteomics for the next OGF meeting in Boston in February.  The 
leadership of OGF would like to make a workshop for Pharma, and they have 
asked us to participate with them in this effort.

Thus, I would like to extend a call for presentations in Pharmacology.  We 
would like to specifically look for presentations relating to those areas 
in Pharmacology that involve intensive computational power, extensive 
communications, or massive amounts of data, but all will be considered.  I 
would like the membership of this e-mail list to help us in the 
solicitation of speakers, and would like to solicit your input into what 
topics and/or speakers we should pursue.

Here are some suggested speakers

* Piotr Sliz, PhD, Bioinformatics Specialist II, Howard Hughes Medical 
Institute
* Steve Litster, Novartis Institutes of BioMedical Research
* Timothy Wagner, Bristol-Myers Squibb Company
* Jeffrey Mathers, Pharmaceutical Research & Development
* Sanjoy Ray, Merck
* Peter S. Shenkin, Schrodinger
* WISDOM, Vincent Breton CNRS
* Bridge, Martin Hofmann fron SCAI Fraunhofer
* Share, Tony Solomonides from Univ West England
* Ian Penny of Pfizer


I'm looking forward to input from all.  Please post notices by 12/26/07

=================
The LSG-RG (Life Science Grid Research Group) is a group in OGF (Open Grid 
Forum) which was formed with the purpose of developing best practices in 
the area of the Life Sciences in the intersection with Grid Computing. The 
group also serves the purpose of interfacing with the other group in OGF 
and ensuring that all standards created by OGF take into account the 
requirements of applications in the Life Sciences.
