Held in conjunction with Drug Discovery and Development India

09 Sep 2015, at 9.00 am - 5.00 pm in Hyderabad

TARGET AUDIENCE

This workshop is for:

Students: B.Sc./M.Sc./B.Tech./M.Tech from Biotechnology, Bioinformatics, Pharmacy,  Microbiology, Industrial Microbiology, Bio Chemistry, Biomedical Technology, Food Science, Environmental Science, Bio-Science, Genetics, Plant Science and Life Sciences.

Professionals: From companies, Research institutes and Faculty from colleges interested to incorporate drug discovery technologies into their research work 

ABOUT THE COURSE

The simple answer to what's holding the industry back in terms of adoption of latest drug discovery techniques is Education. There simply aren't enough individuals trained on the use of Proteomics, Virtual Screening, Molecular Docking, Simulations, Dynamics and  ADMET- multidisciplinary approaches, which is why we continue to offer courses, for both novice and experienced users, on the use of this technology as it applies to their research functions.

Molecular recognition in biological systems relies on the existence of specific attractive interactions between two partner molecules. Structure-based drug design seeks to identify and optimize such interactions between ligands and their host molecules, typically proteins, given their three-dimensional structures. This course provides an overview of such interactions and principles of drug design.
