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.
