9th Advanced in silico Drug Design workshop 2026
9ADD
Date: 26 - 30 January 2026
Timezone: Brussels
Duration: 5 days
Language of instruction: English
The 9ADD workshop (January 26, 2026 – January 30, 2026) focuses on using in silico tools and approaches in drug design. We cover both structure-based drug design (molecular docking, molecular dynamics, and structural bioinformatics tools) and ligand-based drug design (QSAR, pharmacophores, and deep learning) with streamed YouTube lectures and access to hands-on tutorial materials.
