International Chemical Discovery & Design Course. 1-12 July 2013. Nijmegen.

International Chemical Discovery & Design Course, 1-12 July 2013, Nijmegen. We would like to draw your attention to the 9th annual International Chemical Discovery & Design Course (http://www.cmbi.ru.nl/ICDD2013), which will be held from July 1st till July 12^th at the Radboud University Nijmegen. The course is jointly organized by the Computational Drug Discovery (CDD) group of the Centre for Molecular and Biomolecular Informatics (CMBI), The Netherlands eScience Center, and The Netherlands Bioinformatics Centre (NBIC). This course covers the recent advances in discovery informatics, with a focus on the application of escience to real life problems. The course, combining practicals and lectures, will introduce and discuss different scientific concepts as well as providing an opportunity to gain practical experience using industry standard software. You can expect lectures and practicals on the following topics (see also the attachment for the complete programme): * Introduction to Computational Discovery & Design. * Comparative Protein Modelling. * Sequence Retrieval, Analysis and Alignment Techniques. * Computational Medicinal Chemistry; Molecular Descriptors & Library Design. * The Application of Computational Drug Design to Real Life Problems. * Molecular Docking and Virtual Screening. * Advanced 3D Database Searches and Scaffold Hopping. * QSAR and COMFA methods. * Structure Based Drug Design Techniques. * Text Mining. The course is targeted to MSc students, PhD students and post-docs. A basic background in bioinformatics or computational chemistry is a prerequisite for attendance. Registration is now open at: http://www.nbic.nl/education/nbic-phd-school/enrolment/application-internati... Furthermore, as part of this course, on July 5, there will be the *Dutch Computers in Chemistry Symposium, in Amsterdam (*http://esciencecenter.nl/event-page/dutch-computers-in-chemistry-symposium-2...).
