Douglas Connect (http://www.douglasconnect.com/) is happy to announce
 the eCheminfo Drug Discovery Canada workshops taking place at the
 University of Toronto, August 24-28, 2015. 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
