Bursary Award for Drug Discovery Training Week in Oxford

The 5 Day eCheminfo Hands-on Drug Discovery Workshop Week will take place this year 21-25 July 2008 at the Medical Sciences Teaching Center, Oxford University, Oxford, UK. Topics to be covered include Virtual Screening & Docking; Structure-based Drug Design; Ligand Optimisation & Library Design; Structure Search, Similarity and Property Estimation; Data Mining, Analysis & Visualisation; Pharmacophore Modelling for Lead Identification; Fragment-based Drug Design; QSAR-based Predictive Toxicology; and Quantitative Spectrometric Data-Activity Relationship Modelling.

A Bursary Award sponsored by Tripos will be used to support the attendance of one academic participant, who may be working in any area of research related to drug discovery. To apply for the bursary please send an email with a) description of your research (ca. 500 words); b) your training needs (ca. 500 words), c) your CV to echeminfo -[at]- douglasconnect.com by 15 April 2008. The recipient of the award will be selected based on an evaluation of the quality and innovation of the described research and the potential positive impact of the training on their research progress and will be notified by 30 April. We gratefully acknowledge the sponsorship support of Tripos.

These workshops are aimed to provide a set of stimulating workshops using latest advanced modelling techniques of relevance to chemists, life scientists and modellers working in drug discovery. The workshop group studies problems with hands-on examples using leading-edge software and discusses complex issues highlighted by examples and case studies presented by instructors. A variety of leading drug discovery software packages and an IT classroom are used by instructors and participants to work through problems.
