Apologies if some of you get this twice

ANTIPARASITIC DRUG SCREENING/EVALUATION SURVEY

EC COST B22 is a European scientific network devoted to the 
discovery, evaluation and development of drugs for the major parasitic
diseases of humans.  As part of its activities, the Working Group on Drug
Evaluation (Working Group 3) is carrying out a survey of antiparasitic drug
screening/evaluation facilities and expertise in European countries.  This
includes facilities for evaluation of drug activity against cultured
parasites and in animal models, and against relevant targets in
subcellular/in-vitro assays.  The purpose is to bring together those 
isolating or producing new compounds and those capable of evaluating them,
with a view to enhancing European collaboration in new drug development.  A
database has been constructed already but has a relative paucity of entries
from the 
U.K. in particular.

If you are engaged in antiparasitic drug screening/evaluation and would
like to
be included, please visit the COST web-site and fill in the simple form
available there:
http://www.icp.ucl.ac.be/cost/costB22/wg3.htm

Questions about the survey can be directed to Gus Bell at 
abell at tcd.ie or Donatella Taramelli at donatella.taramelli at unimi.it
