- ANCHODD: A NATIONAL COMPUTER 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. 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.
-
- If you are interested in ANCHODD but do not have an electronic mail
- address, then please contact Stuart McLean (fax 002-202870) for advice.
