BACKGROUND
FACULTY
The Symposium cum Workshop is a platform for
discussion of recent advances in Computational
Biology and Computer Aided Drug Design. The
workshop has been designed to provide the
theoretical background as well as a hands-on
approach to Molecular Docking and Virtual
screening. The workshop will also cover the use
of different software and will focus on lead
identification and optimization.
Faculty members will be mostly from the
Department
of
Biosciences
and
Bioengineering,
IIT
Guwahati
and
Schrodinger INC. USA. Few faculty
members from other Department of the
institute will also deliver lectures. Moreover,
few external speakers with expertise in
related area will also be invited for lectures.

VENUE
Indian Institute of Technology (IIT)
Guwahati, the sixth member of the IIT
fraternity, was established in 1994. At
present the Institute has eleven departments
covering all the major engineering and
science disciplines. IIT Guwahati has been
able to build up the necessary infrastructure
for carrying out advanced research and has
been
equipped
with
state-of-the-art
engineering and scientific instruments. IIT
Guwahati has been ranked among the top
100 of the world's dynamic young
universities by Times Higher Education
(THE) magazine. The campus is about 25
Km. from the heart of Guwahati city, the
gateway to the North East India, and
connected to many major cities in the
country by rail and air. Buses (from
Panbazar over-bridge), and taxis are
available from Guwahati City to the IIT
Guwahati Campus.
