4th Advanced in silico Drug Design workshop/hackathon 2019

4ADD 4ADD workshop/hackathon (21.1.-25.1.2019) is focused on the use of in silico drug design tools and approaches in the drug design and optimimization. We will cover both structure-based drug design (molecular docking, molecular dynamics, structural bioinformatics tools) and ligand-based drug design (QSAR, pharmacophores, deep learning). Hackathon on the last day is the best opportunity to try your skills on our ligand selection challenge.

Invited lecturers

prof. Thierry Langer (UniVie), dr. Per Larsson (UppsalaUni), dr. Thomas Evangelidis (IOCB&CEITEC)

Lecturers

doc. Karel Berka, dr. Pavel Polishchuk, Mariia Matveieva, dr. Václav Bazgier (UPOL)
