Dear All,
I would like to circulate some current Cheminformatics- (and related) news to everyone as follows – if you have information from your side for distribution please just let me know, and I am happy to include it on the next occasion.
Please note in particular that our next Berlin Digital Science for Drug Discovery Meeting will take place on 5 May 2022, with a focus on Free Energy Methods (see programme below), and our next Cambridge Cheminformatics Meeting is scheduled for 8 June 2022 (note: shifted from 1 June!); please keep this as a placeholder for now, details will follow shortly.
So here we go…
