Introduction to In-Silico Study for Drugs Discovery

Course Overview

This course provides an introductory exploration of in silico methods used in drug discovery and development. It covers fundamental concepts, tools, and techniques that aid in computational drug design. Participants will learn about the key processes involved in predicting the pharmacokinetic and pharmacodynamic properties of potential drug candidates using computer-based tools. By the end of the course, learners will have practical experience with essential tools for ADME-Tox prediction and drug-likeness evaluation.
