Meeting Synopsis:
This meeting is primarily targeted towards Medicinal Chemists whom have begun, or wish to begin, to fully utilizing combinatorial chemistry and other newly emerging drug discovery methods as additional tools in their drug discovery programs. Consequently, this symposium emphasizes methods practicing Medicinal Chemists can use for efficiently synthesizing focused libraries of compounds without requiring advanced robotics and also methods which provide essential information for iteratively designing and evaluating these libraries.

Session I:
Integrating Combinatorial Chemistry Into the Medicinal Chemist's Laboratory: Case Studies in Lead Optimization and Targeted Library Synthesis, Chairman, Dr. Steve Kaldor (Eli Lilly).

Session II:
The Design of Small, Focused Combinatorial Libraries, Chairman, Dr. Mark Murcko (Vertex Pharmaceuticals).

Session III:
Screening of Small Combinatorial Libraries for Pharmaceutical Properties Chairman, Prof. Marilyn Morris (Dept. of Pharmaceutics, SUNY at Buffalo).

Session IV:
Emerging Methods in Drug Discovery, Chairman, Prof. Alexey Eliseev (Dept. of Medicinal Chemistry, SUNY at Buffalo).

Session V:
Analytical Methods for Characterization and Purification of Combinatorial Libraries, Chairman, Dr. Daniel Kassel (CombiChem).

Session VI:
Solid Supports and Linkers for the Synthesis of Combinatorial Libraries, Chairman, Dr. Irving Sucholeiki (Solid Phase Sciences Corp.)
