Drug Discovery Design Methods & Applications
Virtual screening, structure-based drug design, cheminformatics and molecular modelling applications and case studies

a Hands-on 5 Day eCheminfo Workshop Week

20-24 July 2009; Medical Sciences Teaching Center, Oxford University, Oxford, UK

facilitated by Barry Hardy

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

Virtual Screening
Structure-based Drug Design & Planning
Ligand Optimisation & Library Design
Structure Search, Similarity and Property Estimation
Bioactive Conformations & Conformational Search
Pharmacophore Modelling for Lead Identification
Fragment-based Drug Design
Free Energy-based Calculation of Binding Energies
Modelling Reactions & Synthetic Feasibility of Workshop Libraries
Application of Property Prediction Methods and Filtering to Workshop Libraries


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.

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.

A Bursary Award will be used to support the attendance of a selection of academic participants at the workshop.
