Thanks, Richard. Could you post answers,
from your perspective, to all these questions, please?

Meeting on Pharma
I'll be devils advocate - for a change!!!
;o)
What is this group attempting to achieve?
Is it to explore software per se used in the life sciences or is it to work
within OGF to help improve the standards and best practice in building Grids
for the life sciences? These need not be orthogonal but I am not sure how
presentations by commercial software providers will help the OGF work as a
whole. I could be wrong of course - they may be all be implementing standards/technologies
which have a direct bearing on the Grid and OGF activities. Being my usual
cynical self, I am not sure that this is the case though.
I note that there are many venues for
commercial software providers to present their wares.
I guess these comments could be applied to
many/all research groups at OGF.
Thoughts?

Meeting on Pharma
I suggest the presentation topic to be
"Pharmaceutical R&D" instead of "Pharmacology" so that
we would have a bigger umbrella to cover areas of interest. In particular, I
suggest "In-silico Pharmaceutical R&D" (e.g., in-silico clinical
development with simulated patients) which is of considerable interest to
pharma companies for pre-clinical development and even patient care situations.
Some
of the Independent Software Vendor companies in this area are Gene Network
Sciences, Immunetrics, Entelos, GenStruct, Optimata, Genomatica, and Pharsight.
In fact we can have people from these companies or the customers of these
companies present at the workshop. What do you think?

Dear
all:
This is an e-mail message regarding the Life
Science Grid Research Group (LSG-RG) in the Open Grid Forum (OGF), formerly the
Global Grid Forum (GGF).
I sent out last month asking for input regarding a
proposed meeting regarding proteomics for the next OGF meeting in
Thus, I would like to extend a call for
presentations in Pharmacology. We would like to specifically look for
presentations relating to those areas in Pharmacology that involve intensive
computational power, extensive communications, or massive amounts of data, but
all will be considered. I would like the membership of this e-mail list
to help us in the solicitation of speakers, and would like to solicit your
input into what topics and/or speakers we should pursue.
Here are some suggested speakers
* Piotr Sliz, PhD, Bioinformatics Specialist II,
Howard Hughes Medical Institute
* Steve Litster, Novartis Institutes of BioMedical
Research
* Timothy Wagner, Bristol-Myers Squibb Company
* Jeffrey Mathers, Pharmaceutical Research &
Development
* Sanjoy Ray, Merck
* Peter S. Shenkin, Schrodinger
* WISDOM, Vincent Breton CNRS
* Bridge, Martin Hofmann fron SCAI Fraunhofer
* Share, Tony Solomonides from Univ West
* Ian Penny of Pfizer
I'm looking forward to input from all.
Please post notices by 12/26/07
=================
The LSG-RG (Life Science Grid Research Group) is a
group in OGF (Open Grid Forum) which was formed with the purpose of developing
best practices in the area of the Life Sciences in the intersection with Grid
Computing. The group also serves the purpose of interfacing with the
other group in OGF and ensuring that all standards created by OGF take into
account the requirements of applications in the Life Sciences.
