ANCHODD: A ELECTRONIC MAIL NETWORK FOR THE EXCHANGE OF INFORMATION BETWEEN
DRUG SCIENTISTS.

This electronic clearinghouse has been established to provide a means for
rapid communication between scientists working in the drug sciences, with a
view to sharing skills and resources and identifying potential research
collaborators.  ANCHODD (Australian National Clearinghouse on Drug
Development) functions in principle like an announcement at a scientific
meeting, except that the audience are the recipients of electronic mail
messages and their number and geographical dispersal is virtually
unlimited.

ANCHODD is an initiative of the Centre for Pharmacology, Medicinal
Chemistry and Toxicology at the University of Tasmania in Hobart,
Australia.   The initial focus was on the complimentary fields of medicinal
chemistry and pharmacology testing where there is an obvious need for
collaboration between those who synthesize or isolate potential new drugs,
and those who can characterise a drug's pharmacological properties.
However, applications of ANCHODD are not limited to this situation, and
ANCHODD can be used wherever drug scientists need to establish rapid
contact with others who are potential suppliers of goods or services. Three
Australian scientific societies have supported ANCHODD: The Royal
Australian Chemical Institute, RACI (Division of Medicinal and Agricultural
Chemistry); The Australasian Society of Clinical and Experimental
Pharmacologists and Toxicologists, ASCEPT; and The Australasian
Pharmaceutical Sciences Association, APSA.


ANCHODD uses the Australian Academic and Research Network (AARNet) a new
high-speed computer network , which was established by Australian
Universities to facilitate just this sort of interaction amongst the
academic and research community.  Pharmaceutical companies can become
affiliate members of AARNet through links with a sponsoring University or
CSIRO Division.

ANCHODD is an electronic mail address at the University of Tasmania.  Any
message sent to ANCHODD is automatically broadcast to all addresses on its
mailing list.  To join ANCHODD , send your request for registration to the
email address:

                        listserv@cc.utas.edu.au

followed by the message "subscribe anchodd Fred Bloggs" (but substituting
your own name for Fred's).

Inquiries are welcome.
