Computer-aided drug design has an extensive impact in the area of drug design. It is used to discover, design and optimize new, effective and safe drugs. This is an ever growing effort to the combination of chemical and biological space to streamline design, development and optimize drug discovery process. In silico methods facilitate target identification, structure prediction and lead/drug discovery. The computational methods expect more reliable and expeditious protocols for development of novel ideas, which increase the potential leads. The computer-assisted molecular design has succeeded in the QSAR and protein modeling algorithms to improve activity of lead compounds.
The Faculty Development Programme intends to provide a platform for making the young faculty members of Pharmacy colleges aware about the various aspects of Drug Design and its techniques used in Industry and training on drug design software. This Programme aims in providing theoretical and practical background on computer-aided drug design and giving an overview of recent developments, applications and trends. This two week long programme hopes to bring together an array of eminent academic and industrial scientists in this field.
