Dear Recipients of the Pharma-IT Newsletter, We would like to update you on exciting recent developments in the Pharma-IT Platform - our next Interaction Meeting is coming up, several peer-reviewed publications are about to appear and we had new collaborators joining us. ** Save the date ** The 5th 'Pharma IT Interaction Meeting' is coming! Day and time: Wednesday, November 11th, 2.00pm Location: Gorlaeus Laboratoria, Room L144, Leiden University Hossein Rahmani, PhD student at LIACS, will give a presentation about his research on "Global Protein Similarity Metrics in Protein-Protein Interaction Networks". We will next give updates about recent developments from our side, where one topic will be a resume of the Lorentz Center Workshop we organized on multi-objective optimization in drug design. Another topic we would like to discuss is the relationship of the systems biology projects and the Pharma-IT Platform. Looking forward to seeing you on November 11th! Best wishes, Michael and Andreas
