Douglas Connect (
http://www.douglasconnect.com/) is happy to announce
the eCheminfo Drug Discovery Canada workshops taking place at the
University of Toronto, August 24-28, 2015. We are excited that the
Centre for Collaborative Drug Research (CCDR,
http://www.collaborativedrugresearch.ca/) will be partnering with us by
supporting the workshop. It will focus on a case study in the field of
anti-malarial research, which is part of the expanded crowd-sourcing
community effort Scientists Against Malaria
(
http://scientistsagainstmalaria.net/).
Barry Hardy (Douglas Connect) will be joined by Alessandro Contini
(Univ. Milan), Juergen Bosch (Johns Hopkins), Ray Hui (Structural
Genomics Consortium), Thomas Exner (Douglas Connect) and other experts
in covering different aspects of the rational drug design process and
leading group work and discussions. The activities will be hands-on
using a variety of methods and software including tools from structural
biology, virtual screening, docking, QSARs, and molecular simulations to
molecular libraries for drug design purposes. The participants will
combine these tools into workflows and apply them on data out of recent
investigations from the above mentioned initiative with the potential
for follow-up simulations and testing in the lab of promising ideas and
predictions.
We expect to finalize the list of presenters for Toronto in the coming
days. Additional information and updates can be obtained from
http://www.echeminfo.com/events/drug-discovery-canada-2015. A second
related workshop will be held earlier at the University of Milano,
Italy, July 20-24, 2015
(
http://www.echeminfo.com/events/drug-discovery-euro-2015) in
collaboration with Department of Pharmaceutical Sciencies, University of
Milan (
