Drug Discovery Design Methods & Applications Workshop December 7-10, 2009 IIIT Hyderabad, Hyderabad, India Bursary Award available Workshop Link: http://echeminfo.colayer.net/comty_hyderabadworkshop08 Virtual screening, structure-based drug design, lead optimisation and predictive ADME/toxicology supporting decision making in drug discovery a Hands-on eCheminfo Workshop This workshop precedes the - Latest Advances in Drug Discovery Modelling & Informatics - eCheminfo Community of Practice InterAction Meeting December 11-12, 2009 Co-organised in Partnership by IIIT Hyderabad , JNU NewDelhi , Seascape Learning, and Douglas Connect Facilitated by Barry Hardy Work through in detail and discuss practical examples, methods and emerging techniques with leading modelling experts! Virtual Screening & Docking Structure-based Drug Design Ligand Optimisation & Library Design Structure Search, Similarity and Property Estimation Data Mining, Analysis & Visualisation Pharmacophore Modelling for Lead Identification Fragment-based Drug Design Predictive ADME QSAR-based Predictive Toxicology These workshops are aimed to provide a set of stimulating workshops using latest advanced modelling techniques of relevance to chemists, life scientists and modellers working in drug discovery. Participants should return to their labs with new ideas, best practices and software experiences to maximise productivity in their own drug discovery research activities. Workshop groups will study problems with hands-on examples using leading-edge software and discuss complex issues highlighted by examples and case studies presented by instructors. Software packages and an IT classroom will be used by instructors and participants to work through drug discovery and optimisation problems. Participants may propose problems and issues to the faculty ahead of the workshop. Participants will also have ample opportunity to discuss their perspectives and criticisms of the methods studied and should take-away key nuggets of understanding from these intensive sessions. Workshop Leaders Johann Gasteiger (Molecular Networks), Jeff Wiseman (Locus Pharmaceuticals), Indira Ghosh (JNU, New Delhi), Paul Hawkins (OpenEye), Barry Hardy (Douglas Connect), Peter Oledzki (BioSolveIT), Dhananjay Bhattacharyya (Saha Institute of Nuclear Physics), Ismael Zamora (Pompeu Fabra University and Lead Molecular Design), Madhavi Sastry (Schrodinger),and Wojciech Plonka (Fujitsu Group). A Bursary Award will be used to support the attendance of one academic participant at the workshop.
