From Big Data to Smart Data

This first Gordon Research Seminar on Computer-Aided Drug Design will establish a forum for graduate students, post-docs, and other scientists with comparable levels of experience and education to present and exchange their new models, analyses and cutting edge ideas. The GRS precedes the Gordon Research Conference on Computer-Aided Drug Design, which will be held for the third time at the same location, the picturesque Mount Snow resort, from July 19th to 24th 2015. We are confident to benefit from this beautiful location and generate the dense and creative atmosphere GRCs and GRSs are famous for.

This first CADD GRS will focus on the latest developments in Computer-Aided Drug Design, covering a diverse range of methods from analyses of huge datasets via modeling of individual molecular interactions to the prediction of pharmaceutically relevant properties. The aim of this GRS is to leave participants with a broader picture of the exciting new developments in their field, and informally get to know the other people in the field who are at a similar scientific stage. Being a pre-meeting of the corresponding GRC, this GRS is intended to be a forum for graduate students, post-docs and other scientists on a comparable level. Discussion leaders are also selected from the more experienced yet still young scientists.

Application instructions: In order to give as many young scientists as possible a chance to present their research, all talks slots are reserved for young scientists. All participants are expected to apply for a talk or a poster, with those not selected for giving a talk being expected to present a poster.

We hope to see you at the 2015 GRS on Computer-Aided Drug Design in Mount Snow Resort, Vermont, USA.
