55th Course of the International School of Crystallography (Structural Drug Design)

The International School of Crystallography has been active since 1974, and over the years has brought together a remarkable number of scientists from many different countries. The purpose of the 55th course is to provide the students with

• An overview of the current structural and biophysical techniques used in the field;
• The use of informatics tools in drug discovery;
• The evolving role of chemistry in drug design and biology understanding; and
• An introductions to biologics and their applications.

Speakers committed to participate to the school include Tom Blundell (Cambridge UK), Charles Lesburg (MSD, Boston, USA), James Frasier (UCSF, S. Francisco, CA, USA), Lucia Banci (Florence University, Italy), Ben Davis (Vernalis, Cambdrige, UK), Sandra Jacob (Novartis, CH), Georgia McGaughey (Vertex, USA), and Eddy Arnold (Rutgers, NJ, USA).
