26–30 July 2010, Medical Sciences Teaching Centre, Oxford University, Oxford, UK
eCheminfo Drug Discovery Workshop on Drug Discovery Design Methods & Applications
These workshops are aimed to provide a set of stimulating workshops using latest advanced modelling techniques of relevance to chemists, life scientists and modellers working in drug discovery. Participants should return to their labs with new ideas, best practices and software experiences to maximise productivity in their own drug discovery research activities.
Workshop groups will study problems with hands-on examples using computational drug discovery methods and discuss issues highlighted by examples and Case Studies presented by instructors. A Case Study set with a focus on Kinases will be used to link all workshop activities throughout the week in which participants will work in small groups on their case study problems.
Software packages and an IT classroom will be used by instructors and participants to work through drug discovery and design problems. Participants may propose problems and issues to the faculty ahead of the workshop. Participants will also have ample opportunity to discuss their perspectives and criticisms of the methods studied and should take-away key nuggets of understanding from these intensive sessions.
