Predicting Pharmaceutically Relevant Endpoints: From Molecular Interactions to Holistic Approaches

The Gordon Research Seminar on Computer Aided Drug Design is a unique forum for graduate students, post-docs, and other scientists with comparable levels of experience and education to present and exchange new data and cutting edge ideas.

The aim of this GRS is to allow the participants to acquire a broader picture of the exciting new developments in the field and to identify new unmet needs. The format supports the participants to informally get to know the other people in the field who are at a similar scientific stage and provides a platform for discussion including directives for their career paths.

This GRS will focus on the latest developments in computer-aided drug design, covering a diverse range of methods from cheminformatics to molecular simulations. Data-driven as well as physics-based approaches are welcome focusing on individual molecular interactions as well as holistic tasks to predict pharmaceutically relevant endpoints, i.e. novel therapeutic targets and pockets, ligand binding, polypharmacology, or toxicity. Special attention will also be put on open source code and data bases or web services.

Instruction for applications: All talks slots are reserved for young scientists. All participants are expected to apply for a talk, with those not selected for giving a talk being expected to present a poster.
