At our InnovationWell Autumn InterAction meetings (Philadelphia, USA, 
October 11,12) and (Basel, Switzerland, November 9,10) we are having two 
interesting day long meeting sessions discussing key strategies, issues and 
novel solutions with regards to Knowledge Management in Life Science 
R&D.  (list of presentations is enclosed below).  Further information on 
these sessions and others in drug discovery and life science product 
development is available through the InnovationWell website and members' 
list (complete the SignUp at http://innovationwell.net/) with abstracts and
