CCCC5 is the continuation of a series of meetings held every three years intended to foster the excellence of computational chemistry in Canada. One of the principal goals of the conference is to highlight the impact of computational chemistry in academia, industry and society. As in the previous incarnations of this meeting, a program covering major new directions in research and applications of the computational discipline has been put together, with a special emphasis on computational chemistry applied to biophysics and material science. For this purpose, we have prepared a program of speakers actively involved in developing new methods and applications of high performance computing in chemistry and related areas.

The meeting will be held on the campus of the University of Toronto, with inexpensive rooms available in nearby hotels at special rates. Toronto is an exciting, diverse city with many attractions, ranging from excellent museums to fine dining. Since Toronto is the largest urban centre in Canada, travel to and from the city is easy and relatively inexpensive. The costs of the meeting are modest (all figures in Canadian dollars):
               Students/Post-docs: $100 (early) - $130 (After June 1)
               All others: $300 (early) - $330 (After June 1)
Included in the prices above are registration, Banquet and Reception.

This edition of the conference targets a number of areas in which computational chemistry has a large impact, including applications in material science, computational studies of transition pathways and rough energy landscapes, soluble and membrane proteins, advances in structure-based drug design, self-assembly, membranes, and transport, in-silico adme/tox in drug discovery, and the development of new methods in quantum chemistry. A number of outstanding researchers have been invited for the fifth edition of this meeting, including:

Christopher Bayly (Merck Frosst)
Emily Carter (UCLA)
Gordon Crippen (Michigan)
Gabriel Cruciani (Perugia, Italy)
Julian Gale (Imperial College of Science, Technology and Medicine)
Angel Garcia (LANL)
Shekhar Garde (Rensselaer)
Phillip Geissler (UCB)
Peter Grootenhuis (Vertex)
Volkhard Helms (Max-Planck-Institute for Biophyics, Frankfurt)
Wonpil Im (Scripps)
Ajay Jain (UCSF)
Hannes Jonsson (Iceland)
Gilles Klopman (Case Western)
Leslie Kuhn (Michigan State)
Glenn Martyna (IBM)
Ulf Norinder (AstraZeneca)
Gilles Peslherbe (Concordia)
Enrico Purísima (BRI Montréal)
David Reichman (Harvard)
Pierre-Nicolas Roy (Alberta)
Michiel Sprik (Cambridge University)
Peter Tieleman (Calgary)
Shaomeng Wang (Michigan)
Tom Woolf (John's Hopkins)
Maria Zavodszky (Michigan)

Each session of the meeting will consist of a combination of a number of invited lectures complemented by several oral presentations selected from submitted abstracts. In addition, an important component of the conference will be two poster sessions covering all aspects of computational chemistry. Abstracts from all sectors including industry, academia and government are welcome. We strongly encourage you and any interested colleague to visit the conference web page, submit an abstract, and attend this informal, "Gordon Conference" style meeting.

We are delighted to report that the World Health Organization has lifted the travel advisory against Toronto effective Wednesday, April 30th. A delegation of Canadian Health officials travelled to Geneva and met with Dr. Gro Harlem Brundtland. We have not had a fresh case for 20 days. We look forward to seeing you in Toronto at the end of July. For more info see the Health Canada website .
