Computational Methods in Drug Discovery
17-18 January 2014
Jointly Organized:
ABOUT JNIAS:
Jawaharlal Nehru Institute of Advanced Studies (JNIAS),
Hyderabad has been established by Dr. D. Swaminadhan Research Foundation
(DSRF), Hyderabad as a Research and Educational Institution with a view to
contribute in developing advanced technologies and build ‘core competence’ in
specific areas. The activities of JNIAS involves: Education, Research Training
and Consultancy in the fields of Sciences, Technologies, Humanities and Social
Sciences. It aims to blossom into an Advanced Institute of education and
research with a reservoir of expertise and experience in the relevant fields
and the necessary capability to harness multi-disciplinary research and
studies.
JNIAS is recognized by University Grants Commission
(UGC) and included under section 2(f) and 12(B) of the UGC Act, 1956. JNIAS has
been recognized as an Advanced Research Institute by Jawaharlal Nehru
Technological University Hyderabad (JNTUH), Hyderabad and Jawaharlal Nehru
Technological University Anantapur (JNTUA), for offering Ph.D., P.G M.Phil, P.G
Diploma and Training Programmes in Sciences and Engineering & Technology.
ABOUT SCHRODINGER:
The Schrödinger Suite of software is state-of-the-art
software in a molecular modeling platform for use in chemical, pharmaceutical,
biotechnology, and materials science research. This software can be used for
macromolecular modeling and simulations including protein structure modeling,
computational docking and drug design, drug lead discovery or optimization, and
quantum chemistry. Today, the predictive power of Schrödinger's software allows
scientists to accelerate their research and development activities, reduce
research costs, and make novel discoveries that might otherwise not be
possible.
ABOUT THE WORKSHOP: The workshop on “Recent Advances in
Computational Methods in Drug Discovery” focuses on providing training on some
of the recent advanced methods in the computational drug design like Induced
fit Docking, GPCR structure prediction, pharmacophore modeling, QSAR etc. and
computational biologics design methods including protein-protein docking,
antibody modeling, cysteine scanning etc. The content of this workshop is
intended to be useful for all researchers hoping to do computer -aided drug
design and computational biology work. The approach will be introduction about
the topic followed by hands-on session on any important drug target by
distinguished scientists from Schrodinger Inc
