We were not so much interested in the very latest developments of methods or in computer-aided drug design itself - enough conferences have dealt with these topics. However, we were very interested in the usefulness and limitations of computer-aided drug design in the indu strial research process. A lot has changed in the pharmaceutical industry recently.

Synopsis

The Ernst Schering Research Foundation sponsored its 15th workshop in Berlin on October 19-21, 1994. Leading scientists from Europe and North America were invited to discuss computer-aided drug design in industrial research. Computer-aided drug design is a very exciting field and an intellec­ tual challenge, like playing chess. But these reasons are no longer suf­ ficient to justify using this method in industry, if they ever were. Fig. 1.

We were not so much interested in the very latest developments of methods or in computer-aided drug design itself - enough conferences have dealt with these topics.
