Description
The EU's thematic areas are as follows:
A theoretical section on chemoinformatics
A theoretical section focused specifically on modeling tools for drug design
Hourly Volumes*:
CM: 3:00 p.m.
TD: 5 hours
A section focused on practical skills, including computer work
Objectives
Drawing on knowledge of molecular interactions, as well as concepts in biochemistry and structural biology, the goal is to provide students with hands-on experience using software tools in chemoinformatics and molecular modeling. Students will thus gain an understanding of the limitations and capabilities of various software programs.
