4. WISDOM workshop – March 29th, 2007 – V. Breton Enabling Grids for E-sciencE INFSO-RI-508833 4 WISDOM Goal: contribute to develop new drugs for neglected and emerging diseases with a particular focus on malaria and avian flu Specificity: extensively rely on emerging information technologies to provide new tools and environments for drug discovery and development. Initial focus: screening Web site: http://wisdom.healthgrid.orghttp://wisdom.healthgrid.org
