Description |
|
| The Resources for Computational Drug Discovery workshop will provide participants with the underlying principles of computational chemical biology and address how these methods are applied in the field of drug discovery. It will explore approaches to accessing data, combining different data types and introduce the tools available to assist analysis work. Practical sessions will guide participants in retrieving and analysing chemogenomic, proteomic and metabolomic data for target analysis. Target audience This workshop attracts both academic and industrial researchers interested in drug discovery, from a range of biological and chemical disciplines. An undergraduate level of biology is essential and participants should also have a basic understanding of UNIX, programming and running simple scripts (such as python). Syllabus, tools and resources • Approaches in computational drug discovery • EMBL-EBI chemical biology resources • PDBe for structural models • ZINC purchasable compound database • canSAR drug discovery platform Learning objectives • Access publicly available chemical biology databases • Define strategies for identifying and selecting bioactive molecules for screening • Apply computational chemistry and biology tools for compound design and target evaluation • Develop strategies for drug reuse and repositioning |
