Latest Advances in Drug Discovery Design & Planning Methods
Virtual screening, structure-based drug design, lead optimisation and predictive toxicology supporting decision making in drug discovery

a Hands-on 5 Day eCheminfo Workshop Week

21-25 July 2008; Medical Sciences Teaching Center, Oxford University, Oxford, UK

facilitated by Barry Hardy

Work through in detail and discuss practical examples, methods and emerging techniques with leading modelling experts!

Virtual Screening & Docking
Structure-based Drug Design
Ligand Optimisation & Library Design
Structure Search, Similarity and Property Estimation
Data Mining, Analysis & Visualisation
Pharmacophore Modelling for Lead Identification
Fragment-based Drug Design
QSAR-based Predictive Toxicology
Quantitative Spectrometric Data-Activity Relationship Modelling

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 leading-edge software and discuss complex issues highlighted by examples and case studies presented by instructors.

Software packages and an IT classroom will be used by instructors and participants to work through drug discovery and optimisation 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.

A Bursary Award sponsored by Tripos will be used to support the attendance of one academic participant at the workshop.
