Conference Description
The Computer Aided Drug Design GRS provides a unique forum for young doctoral and post-doctoral researchers to present their work, discuss new methods, cutting edge ideas, and pre-published data, as well as to build collaborative relationships with their peers. Experienced mentors and trainee moderators will facilitate active participation in scientific discussion to allow all attendees to be engaged participants rather than spectators.
Recently, the focus of pharmaceutical design has shifted from mainly small molecules to an increasing number of new modalities – including peptides, oligonucleotides, and many more. Established computational modeling and data analysis techniques are ever-evolving, recently with the incorporation of machine learning and artificial intelligence. However, new modalities bring new challenges. As a result, many of these established methodologies originally developed for small molecules have to be refined and enhanced to meet the new areas of application. The GRS on Computer-Aided Drug Design will highlight ongoing advances in both areas – from small molecules to new modalities – and will show potential enhancement but also the limitations of current methodologies. It will further serve as a platform for young scientists to discuss their research and engage with peers. Instruction for applications: Talk slots are reserved for young scientists. All participants are expected to present a poster and are highly encouraged to apply for a talk.
