Short Courses in Chemoinformatics
from 13th May 2013 to 19th May 2013
Université de Strasbourg, Faculté de Chimie, Strasbourg, FRANCE
Reference: CBT09-0684A
Duration
5 days, 13-19 May 2013
For whom?
Chemists (Bachelor’s degree or better), technicians having experience in database management, modelisation software, willing to broaden their skills. Chemoinformatics is a new scientific area appeared a few years ago. It relates to (i) storage, management and search of chemical data (databases), (ii) the development of predictive models connecting the chemical structure of molecules with their physicochemical and biological properties, and, (iii) design in silico of new compounds having desired properties. The chemoinformatics approaches are very much used in phamaceutical companies to carry out a virtual screening, to optimize a lead, for predictions of ADME/Tox properties.
Requirements
Basic informatics skills.
Language
Lectures will be delivered in English or in French depending on the audience.
