About the Workshop
The processes used by academic and industrial scientists to discover new drugs has recently experienced a true renaissance with many new and exciting computer aided techniques being developed in the past 5-10 years. Medicinal chemistry has benefited tremendously from the technological advances in the field of Computer Aided Drug Design. Structure-based drug design has been shown to be an invaluable technology for medicinal chemistry and drug discovery applications since it often dramatically reduces the overall cost of drug discovery. Many advances including crystallography and informatics are behind these successes. Of great importance is also the impact these advances in structure-based drug design are likely to have on the overall pharmacokinetic and toxicity profile of Active Pharmaceutical Ingredients.
The aim of the workshop is to disseminate knowledge about this immensely useful discipline, which accelerates the design of new leads for the life threatening diseases like Cancer, AIDs, Tuberculosis, Leishmania etc. These new tools have had a significant impact on both drug design and discovery in the pharmaceutical industry that helps the scientist in their research work. The workshop introduces concepts through lectures delivered by renowned speakers, discussion regarding envisaged and encountered problems in these and related technologies. The workshop will also include hands-on training on some important computer software for drug design. Attending the workshop will be of great help to budding scientists from various fields as it covers how to effectively put to use the knowledge of different software of drug design.
