Summary
Leading international scientists recently gathered in Manchester for the 2004 Molecular Graphics and Modelling Society annual international meeting to pay tribute to Professor Ian Hillier who has been Professor of Theoretical Chemistry at The University of Manchester for over twenty years. He has published over 400 papers using theoretical and computational methods to understand the relationship between molecular structure, physical properties, and chemical reactivity for a wide range of chemical systems. The four-day conference, organised by Richard Bryce and Neil Burton from the University of Manchester, and Ian Gould from Imperial College London, centred on the state-of-the-art in accurate calculation of biomolecular recognition and reactivity. The conference attracted notable academic and industrial speakers from across Europe and the USA, including contributions from former students, research associates and colleagues of Ian. The conference highlighted the pioneering research in computational chemistry at Manchester and its influence upon the field today.
