Having worked for several years in the pharmaceutical industry and then later within the Reed Elsevier Group at various senior management positions, Eduard Cohen brings a wealth of experience and knowledge of the industry to Beilstein. I am delighted to be able to contribute to the continued success of Beilstein, provide a bridge to Elsevier Science and work within the MDL organisation. Our goal is to further enable scientists with the technology required to assist in the research process. The first joint projects between the three groups are already emerging, and these projects and others will accelerate our customers research processes and contribute strongly to their decision making", says Cohen. As arranged after the acquisition by Elsevier Science in January 1998, BIS will continue to be operated by MDL Information Systems, Inc. (MDL) which is a wholly owned subsidiary of Elsevier Science. Esther Allen, the previous Managing Director who lead the company during the transition period, has ensured a smooth hand-over to Eduard Cohen. chemweb: A list for Chemical Applications of the Internet.
