Hands on Training on “Computer Aided Drug Design Software”

Greetings from the Department of Pharmaceutical Chemistry, Institute of Pharmacy, Nirma University !

We are pleased to announce that the Department of Pharmaceutical Chemistry, Institute of Pharmacy, Nirma University in association with the Centre for Continuing Education (CCE) is organizing one day hands on training on “Computer Aided Drug Design Software” Supported by Advent Informatics Pvt. Ltd., India on February 17, 2024.

Link of the registration form: https://forms.gle/38rFLMxcb4aynGjR6
Last Date of application: February 12, 2024
Confirmation of selection: February 13, 2024

This workshop is intended to provide exploration of different Computer Aided Drug Design (CADD) tools and techniques which could be useful for budding scientists, students, and faculty members. The processes used by academic and industrial scientists to discover new drugs have recently experienced a true renaissance with many new and exciting computer-aided techniques being developed in the past 5-10 years.

The aim of the workshop is to disseminate knowledge about the drug design and application of computational techniques for hit/lead discovery against life-threatening diseases like cancer, HIV, malaria, TB etc. The workshop introduces technology through the lectures delivered by experts. The workshop will include hands-on practice on some important computer aided drug design techniques like pharmacophore modelling, molecular docking, virtual screening and in silico ADMET parameters. Attending the workshop will be of great help to budding researchers/ scientists from various fields as it covers how to use different techniques of drug design.
