An update: sorry for the error in the previous mail, the drug in
question is used in cancer treatment, not for HIV. It is especially
useful for chronic myeloid leukemia (CML) and gastrointestinal
stromal tumors (GIST).
An urgent appeal to listmembers who have any interest in this area to
contact me offlist, so that I can coordinate with our visitor who is
arriving tomorrow.
