Hi Amy,
You can also use the Sunday morning workshop as a place to initially meet up
with biotech people. The workshop details were to be announced with the
next meeting update in just a few days time, but here they are now!
SIGN UP FOR A FREE STN SUNDAY WORKSHOP. Kerry Stanley will be teaching
"Biosequence searching on STN" on Sunday morning from 9-12; there is no
additional fee for this workshop; Register at: wksp@cas.org, 1-800-848-6538

> Hello Colleagues:
>
> I would like to send out this "feeler" email in order to gauge what
interest
> there may be to have a Biotechnology gathering at the PIUG. Anyone who
has
> a focus or interest in biologicals would be welcome, you don't have to be
> from a Biotech company specifically. My thinking is that we have some
> rather unique challenges with patent work that is centered primarily
around
> biology and disease. Eventually it would be nice to have some programming
> around biosequence issues, biological targets as well as some of the
> manufacturing issues that surround production of biotechnology products.
I
> suspect that we may have a larger group from biotech this year due to the
> bay-area location. I don't have a specific idea for getting together a
> group, but here a few suggestions:
>
> * form a luncheon group on one of the days--perhaps naming a "biotech
> table"?
> * have a dutch-treat dinner group?
> * have an early morning get-together?
>
> Please contact me if you are interested, I will be arriving on Friday
April
> 19th. I am open to suggestions if someone has a better idea for a
gathering
> venue.

> Many Thanks,
