The University of Siena is organizing the "Ninth European Workshop in Drug Design" (IX EWDD), to be held, from May, 19th to 25st 2012, in Certosa di Pontignano, on the outskirt of the beautiful city of Siena, in Tuscany.
Ligand/structure based drug design, in silico ADME - Tox and metabolism, design and screening of virtual libraries, molecular modelling methodologies, cheminformatics/bioinformatics and synthetic feasibility. These topics will be covered by lectures in the mornings and exercises in the afternoon through practical case studies.
The goal of the afternoon working sessions is to create an environment that is similar to what happens inside pharmaceutical Companies today. The participants will be divided into teams which will be led and coordinated by tutors who are research group leaders in their companies and Universities. Each teams will work through a different drug design case, emulating a real research team. The team's work will be focused on rational design and will include writing reports, project status reviews, and planning events of real-life research teams, as well as in-depth work with appropriate modelling software.
IX EWDD will feature more than 20 well known researchers from the University and from the Pharmaceutical Industry, including directors of research. Time for short presentations, > from brilliant young researchers and from selected posters is avalaible (If you are interested send the topic and title at info9ewdd(_)gmail.com).
