ABOUT THE WORKSHOP
The workshop has been organized to discuss the advancements in the developing field of Bioprogramming like BIOPERL & BIOJAVA. Drug Research and Discovery are of critical importance in human health care today and are becoming increasingly expensive, while the need for new drug is also increasing. Computational approaches for drug discovery and optimization have proven successful in many recent research programs. These methods have grown in their effectiveness not only because of improved understanding of the basic science – the biological events and molecular interactions that define a target for therapeutic intervention, but also because of advances in algorithms, representations and mathematical procedures for studying such process. The goal of the workshop is to help participants to collect, interpret and use of experimental data to design new drugs using new methods of drug discovery.
The following softwares are used,
Accelerys Discovery Studio
ICM-Mol soft
CCDC-GOLD
Vega
Molegro
Argus lab
ISIS draw, Hyperchem, Chimeplugin
Eminent scientist will share their knowledge which will be immensely useful to the UG & PG and research students. Session are arranged in such a way that participant will get theoretical knowledge about the domain followed by hands on session on the same topic.
PARTICIPANTS :
Faculty members, Research scholars, UG & PG students of all life science departments are invited to attend the workshop.
