About the workshop

Dr. B.R. Ambedkar Center for Biomedical Research, University of Delhi, INDIA is organizing its 2nd workshop on applications of Bioinfoamtics and molecular modeling in drug design at Seminar Hall, University of Delhi during December 22-24th 2009. The meeting focuses on the advancement and exploration of the knowledge about modern trends in Biomedical Sciences viz. Computational Strategies, use of computers and informatics in understanding gene annotations, biomolecular interactions and Rational Drug Design. Various molecular modeling methods such as basics of bioinformatics tools, gene annotations, protein modeling, energy minimizations, molecular dynamics, docking methods and structure- based approaches will be discussed in detail. Along with this an overview of microarray data and pathway analysis will be covered with hand on training.

The conference would provide a great opportunity to budding scientists to share the knowledge and plan future strategies for modern drug research by intellectual interaction with the elite scientists of the country. It is anticipated that the workshop would unwrap new prospective for research in computer aided drugs design.

The topics would include:

Ø Bioinformatics and its application in understanding gene/protein function
Ø Energy Minimization & Molecular Mechanics
Ø Understanding Biomolecular Interaction
Ø Structure and Ligand Based drug Design
Ø Microarray Data analysis
