Workshop on Computational Drug Discovery
10th March 2018 - 9.00AM to 2.30PM
Department of Biotechnology, School of Physical, chemical and Biological Sciences, REVA University organized one day workshop on Computational Drug Discovery using Bioinformatics Approaches for M.Sc 1st Year Biotechnology Students on 10th March, 2018. The modules included theoritical aspects and hands-on sessions to impart computational skills in the domains of drug discovery. The main focus was on bioinformatics and structure & ligand-based methods and their application in drug discovery.
Dr. C. N. Prashantha, Assistant Professor, Department of Biotechnology was the resource person for the workshop. Students got hands on experience on basic bioinformatic techniques such as sequence Alignment, Pairwise sequence alignment, Multiple sequence alignment and Protein structure prediction. They were also exposed to drug discovery techniques such as Pharmacophore analysis, Pharmacokinetic analysis, Molecular Docking & Virtual Screening.
Students are benefited and appreciated the workshop.
