Workshop on
Recent Advances in Computational Methods in
Drug Discovery
on 17th & 18th January 2014
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
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 multidisciplinary 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.
