About the Course

About the Course

The In-silico Drug Design course is designed to provide participants with a comprehensive understanding of computational drug design techniques. Participants will explore quantitative structure-activity relationship (QSAR) modeling, descriptor generation, model building, validation, and visualization. By the end of this workshop, participants will be equipped with the knowledge and skills to apply in silico methods to design and predict the properties of drug molecules.
