SCI-RSC Workshop on Computational Tools for Drug Discovery 2027

Organised by:

SCI’s Fine Chemicals group and RSC's Chemical Information and Computer Applications Group

University of Liverpool, UK

Synopsis

All scientists working in drug discovery need tools and techniques for handling chemical information. This workshop offers a unique opportunity for delegates to try out a range of software packages for themselves, with expert tuition in different aspects of pre-clinical drug discovery. Attendees will be able to choose from sessions covering data processing and visualisation; ligand and structure-based design, or ADMET prediction run by the software providers. All software and training materials required for the workshop will be provided for attendees to install and run on their own laptops and use for a limited period afterwards.

Attendees

Attendance is recommended for chemists working in the pharmaceutical, biotech, life sciences and agrochemicals sectors, particularly early career scientists or those working in SMEs, start-ups or academia.

Delegates will have the opportunity to try out 4 software packages during the course of the day (2 in the morning and 2 in the afternoon). You will be contacted after you have registered for the event for your software preferences and we will confirm this closer to the event date. We would encourage early registration as software choice will be allocated on a first come, first served basis.

The list of software providers will be confirmed shortly.

Please note: due to the training element, there will be limited places at the event
