Chemical Genomics Symposium: NIDA
The National Institute on Drug Abuse (NIDA) is organizing a special
Symposium on “Chemical Genomics” July 17- JULY 18, in Portland,
Oregon, The Benson Hotel (Meeting Room: Cambridge-Oxford Room),
overlapping with the Annual International Narcotics Research
Symposium (INRC). NIDA has a strong history of supporting cutting
edge, multidisciplinary research of brain function, and this meeting
offers a unique and exciting opportunity to help shape the future
directions of research to study CNS disorders. Small, cell-permeable
and target-specific chemical ligands are particularly useful in
systematic genomic approaches to study biological questions. On the
other hand, genomic sequence information, comparative and structural
genomics, when combined with the cutting edge technologies in
synthetic chemistry and ligand screening/ identification, provide a
powerful way to produce target-specific and/or function-specific
chemical ligands and drugs. Chemical genomics or chemogenomics is a
relatively new term that describes the development of
target-specific chemical ligands and the use of such chemical
ligands to globally study gene and protein functions. It is
anticipated that chemical genomics plays a critical role in the
genomic age of biological research and drug discovery. This
symposium is intended to bring together leaders in the fields of
chemical and systems biology to present their latest research and
discuss opportunities to develop strategies for the discovery of
biological probes to elucidate mechanisms involved in drug addiction
and other CNS disorders. There will be approximately 20 speakers.
The symposium will start on Friday, July 17, 8:30 a.m. and will end
at 2 p.m. on Saturday, July 18. I hope that you can attend the
symposium . Further information on the symposium can be obtained
from Dr. Rao S. Rapaka, NIDA, 301-435-1304 or Ben Cravatt,
858-784-8633.
