 2nd call for contributions
 A two and a half day meeting covering the use of bioinformatics in all
 aspects of drug discovery from the application of genomics for
 rational target identification to structure-function prediction.
 Abstracts:
 Oral contributions and poster presentations are invited; abstracts
 should be submitted to Dr. Andy Brass by March 14th, 1997. A limited
