Environmental ChemOinformatic (ECO) is a collaborative action of 7 institutions from 5 EU countries (Germany, The Netherlands, Spain, Sweden, Italy). The primary objective is to contribute to the education of environmental chemo-informaticians who will receive an advanced training in both environmental sciences and computational in silico methods. The fellows of the network are expected to apply their knowledge for the implementation of REACH (Registration, Evaluation, Authorization and Restriction of Chemicals) in particular with respect to the replacement, refinement and reduction of animal tests by alternative (in silico and in vitro) methods.
ECO provides positions for short term fellowships. The detailed descriptions and specific skills required for each position are available at the web site http://www.eco-itn.eu/node/58.

At the 5th Meeting of the International Academy of Mathematical Chemistry (Dubrovnik, June 14-16 2009), Dr. Viviana Consonni has been elected as new member of the Academy on the basis of her research activity on molecular descriptors and mathematical chemistry. At the present moment, she is the youngest member of the Academy.

Prof. Roberto Todeschini and Davide Ballabio will be guests of honor in the 8th Iranian Chemometrics Workshop on Quantitative Structure Activity Relationship (QSAR), that will be held in Zanjan, Iran (7-9 February 2009). During their stay in Iran, they’ll also give lectures in the universities of Teheran, Isfahan and Shiraz.

The MOLE db – Molecular Descriptors Data Base is a free on-line database constituted of 1124 molecular descriptors calculated on 234773 molecules, released by Milano chemometrics and QSAR research group. This data base is intended as a research and teaching tool and basically allows the researcher to: a) search for a specific group of molecules and analyse the corresponding values of molecular descriptors b) save in an output file the values of a block of molecular descriptors calculated on a group of molecules.

At the 3rd Meeting of the International Academy of Mathematical Chemistry (Dubrovnik, June 7-9, 2007), Prof. Roberto Todeschini has been elected as new president of the Academy, in place of Prof. Alexandru Balaban.

Milano Chemometrics & QSAR Research Group is pleased to invite Prof. Mircea V. Diudea (University Babes-Bolya, Cluj-Napoca, Romania) to visit our University in the period March 10-25, 2007. We look at this opportunity to discuss and formulate several scientific and educational proposals in domains of joint interest.

A new website dedicated to molecular descriptors has been released by Milano chemometrics and QSAR research group. You can find it here: www.moleculardescriptors.eu

Nel mese di febbraio 2004, il Gruppo di Chemiometria della Divisione di Chimica Analitica della Società Chimica Italiana ha eletto come nuovo responsabile il prof. Roberto Todeschini. Todeschini succede al prof. Michele Forina che per i 3 anni precedenti ha avuto la responsabilità del Gruppo.
