Computer-Aided Drug Design 2017
This year, Computer Aided Drug Design (CADD) 2017 is celebrating our 10th anniversary! It has been great success in all our past events that had been held in Penang (Malaysia), Bandung (Indonesia), Langkawi (Malaysia). Universiti Sains Malaysia is once again proudto organise CADD 2017 with the aim of bringing together and providing a platform for interaction and exchange of research ideas among experts in the area of CADD. Critical aspects and current issues associated with CADD will be shared and initiatives from various perspectives in drug design are needed to synergistically unfold the great potential in CADD.
In view of the potentially huge significance of this field in both pharmaceutical industry and academic, the focus of CADD 2017 is ‘Structural Bioinformatics, Ligand Based and Structure Based Drug Design’.
OBJECTIVES
This workshop aims to create exposure and promote awareness among local researchers of the current issues involved in computer aided drug design while simultaneously forming a platform for collaborations and research networking.
SCOPES
- Protein structure prediction
- Molecular dynamics simulation
- Molecular docking simulation
- Pharmacophore modelling
- QSAR, 3D QSAR
- ADMET prediction
Who Should Attend
Scientists from academic and industry who engage in drug discovery and design as well as postgraduate students who would like to explore the application of computer aided drug design, drug discovery, general molecular modelling techniques such as homology modelling, molecular dynamics simulation, QSAR and pharmacophore modelling are strongly encouraged to join us.
