This course focuses on frontier of drug design and development and in silico technical requisite from target identification to drug discovery and development. Drug development involves target selection, lead discovery using computer-aided methods combinatorial high-throughput screening. Our course includes fundamental concepts, technical requirement, in silico practices required in rapidly growing field of pharmacology. This course would create awareness and provide exposure to advance analysis (bioinformatics and computational tools) required for drug discovery and development of new medicine.
