simulation, quality, availability and standards in the high-throughput life sciences.
The main issues addressed being the transformation of bioinformatics and bioinformaticsbased
drug design into a robust discipline in industry, the government, research institutes
and academia. The latest workshop emphasized the influence of the post-genomic era on
medicine and healthcare with reference to advanced biological systems modeling and
simulation, protein structure research, protein-protein interactions, metabolism and
physiology. Speakers included Michael Ashburner, Kenneth Buetow, Francois Cambien,
Cyrus Chothia, Jean Garnier, Francois Iris, Matthias Mann, Maya Natarajan, Peter
Murray-Rust, Richard Mushlin, Barry Robson, David Rubin, Kosta Steliou, John Todd,
