The 5 Day eCheminfo Hands-on Drug Discovery Workshop Week will take
place this year 21-25 July 2008 at the Medical Sciences Teaching
Center,
Oxford University, Oxford, UK. Topics to be covered include Virtual
Screening & Docking; Structure-based Drug Design; Ligand Optimisation
&
Library Design; Structure Search, Similarity and Property Estimation;
Data Mining, Analysis & Visualisation; Pharmacophore Modelling for
Lead
Identification; Fragment-based Drug Design; QSAR-based Predictive
Toxicology; and Quantitative Spectrometric Data-Activity Relationship
Modelling.

These workshops are aimed to provide a set of stimulating workshops
using latest advanced modelling techniques of relevance to chemists,
life scientists and modellers working in drug discovery. The workshop
group studies problems with hands-on examples using leading-edge
software and discusses complex issues highlighted by examples and case
studies presented by instructors. A variety of leading drug discovery
software packages and an IT classroom are used by instructors and
participants to work through problems.
