4th SCI-RSC Workshop on Computational Tools for Drug Discovery 2025
Tuesday, 8th April 2025, Leeds, UK
This workshop offers a unique chance to explore various drug discovery software packages to manage chemical information. Expert guidance on pre-clinical drug discovery will be available. Participants can choose sessions including data processing and ligand and structure-based design. Software and training materials will be provided for both the workshop and use afterwards for a limited time.
CCDC Workshop: CSD Tools for Drug Discovery
Big-data insights from real-world experimental data in the Cambridge Structural Database (CSD) canbe used to guide and improve the design of novel small molecule drugs.
In this workshop you will learn how CSD tools can help you;
- Identify off-target effects.
- Understand drug-target binding and pose prediction.
- Generate novel ideas and modifications to improve efficacy.
- Explore existing similar molecules and use them to identify alternate scaffolds.
This session will focus on GOLD’s well-validated docking algorithm and the pharmacophore search engine CSD-CrossMiner. These approaches are well reported in the literature and widely used from top pharma to upcoming biotech and global academic research.
Who Should Attend?
- Chemists working in the pharmaceutical, biotech, life sciences and agrochemicals sectors, particularly early career scientists or those working in SMEs, start-ups or academia.
