Case Study Approach on ADME and Tox endpoints and datasets. http://echeminfo.com/comty_oxfordadmet09 Medical Sciences Teaching Centre, Oxford University, Oxford, UK Bursarys award available (deadline February 20, 2009) facilitated by Barry Hardy eCheminfo Community of Practice These workshops are aimed to provide a set of stimulating workshops using latest advanced in silico techniques of relevance to chemists, life scientists, clinical researchers, toxicologists and modellers working in drug discovery and development. Participants should return to their labs with new ideas, best practices and software experiences to maximise productivity in their own drug discovery and development research activities. Workshop groups will study problems with hands-on examples using leading-edge software and discuss complex issues highlighted by examples and case studies presented by instructors. A case study set will be used to link all workshop activities through the week. Workshop Instructors Barry Hardy (Douglas Connect), Ismael Zamora (Pompeu Fabra University and Lead Molecular Design), Christoph Helma (in silico toxicology), David Leahy (University of Newcastle), Philip Judson (Lhasa), Anton Hopfinger (University of New Mexico), Mark Cronin (Liverpool John Moores University), Olga Obrezanova (BioFocus DPI), Glen Myatt (Leadscope), Judith Madden (Liverpool John Moores University), Arianna Bassan (S-IN) Software packages and an IT classroom will be used by instructors and participants to work through Predictive ADME and Toxicology problems. Participants may propose problems and issues to the faculty ahead of the workshop. Participants will also have ample opportunity to discuss their perspectives and criticisms of the methods studied and should take-away key nuggets of understanding from these intensive sessions. A related workshop will run the week before 20-24 July, 2009 Drug Discovery Design Methods & Applications: Virtual screening, structure-based drug design, cheminformatics and molecular modelling supporting drug discovery and design, a Hands-on 5 Day eCheminfo Workshop. Case Study approach including Kinases. http://echeminfo.com/comty_oxfordworkshop09 For further information and questions on the Workshop programs, please contact Dr. Barry Hardy at: barry.hardy -[at]- douglasconnect.com, Tel: +41 61 851 0170 For registrations, please contact Nicki Douglas, nicki.douglas -[at]- douglasconnect.com, Tel: +41 61 851 0461
