We are excited that the Centre for Collaborative Drug Research (CCDR, http://www.collaborativedrugresearch.ca/) will be partnering with us by supporting the workshop. It will focus on a case study in the field of anti-malarial research, which is part of the expanded crowd-sourcing community effort Scientists Against Malaria (http://scientistsagainstmalaria.net/). Barry Hardy (Douglas Connect) will be joined by Alessandro Contini (Univ. Milan), Juergen Bosch (Johns Hopkins), Ray Hui (Structural Genomics Consortium), Thomas Exner (Douglas Connect) and other experts in covering different aspects of the rational drug design process and leading group work and discussions. The activities will be hands-on using a variety of methods and software including tools from structural biology, virtual screening, docking, QSARs, and molecular simulations to molecular libraries for drug design purposes. The participants will combine these tools into workflows and apply them on data out of recent investigations from the above mentioned initiative with the potential for follow-up simulations and testing in the lab of promising ideas and predictions. We expect to finalize the list of presenters for Toronto in the coming days. Additional information and updates can be obtained from http://www.echeminfo.com/events/drug-discovery-canada-2015. A second related workshop will be held earlier at the University of Milano, Italy, July 20-24, 2015 (http://www.echeminfo.com/events/drug-discovery-euro-2015) in collaboration with Department of Pharmaceutical Sciencies, University of Milan (http://eng.disfarm.unimi.it/ecm/home). Bursary Award are available to support the registration costs of a selection of academic participants. To apply please visit http://www.echeminfo.com/bursary-awards. Please note that the deadline May 15th for such awards is approaching soon. You can register and pay at http://events.douglasconnect.com/workshops For further information and questions on these and other eChemInfo workshops, please visit http://www.echeminfo.com/events or contact us.
