Dear Colleagues,

It is my pleasure and honor to host the “5th International Bahçeşehir University (BAU) Drug Design Congress” at the BAU, School of Medicine, in Istanbul. It will bring together renowned industrial and academic experts to further discuss the recent developments and advances in the drug design field.

The main theme of the BAU-Drug Design 2017 Congress will be “Recent Developments in Structure- and Ligand-based Drug Design Methodologies,” which will cover a wide range of critically important topics such as:

*Novel Applications in Cancer Therapy

*Synthesis of small organic molecules

*From Bench to Clinical Applications

*Drug Targets

*Rare Diseases

*Peptide Synthesis

*Drug/Membrane Interactions

*Potential Drug Carrier Systems

*Design and applications of Bio-Probes in diagnosis, cell recognition and monitoring

*Gene Network Analysis

*Experimental techniques for Drug-Protein interactions

*Molecular Simulations 

*NMR-Supported Structural Biology of Drug Targets

*Stem Cells

*Molecular Modeling

*Molecular Docking and Molecular Dynamics (MD) Simulations

*De Novo Drug Design

*Analysis of Protein/Protein and Drug/Protein Interactions

*High Throughput Screening Methods

*Pharmacophore Modeling

*Structural Bioinformatics

*Fragment-based Design

*ADME/Tox

*Protein Flexibility and Dynamics

*High Performance Computing

*Virtual Screening of Large number of small molecules

The congress aims to serve as a platform for interaction among leading experimental and computational scientists from academia and industry to discuss the latest developments in methodology, application and approaches in the drug design field and to accelerate scientific discovery as well as reflect the key goals of the strategic priorities of the university: Integration, inter-disciplinary research on basic health sciences.
I look forward to welcoming the participants to this exciting congress in the magical city of Istanbul in October 2017.
