Asia Hub for e-Drug Discovery

Details

• Date: August 27-29, 2005
• Place: Jeju Shilla Hotel, Korea
• Co-organized by: DDDC CBRC and BMDRC
• Sponsored by: Ministry of Science & Technology (MOST), Korea, Bioinformatics and Molecular Design Research Center (BMDRC), Yonsei BioTechnology Initiative(YBTI), The Korea Research Institute of Chemical Technology (KRICT), The Center for Biological Modulators(CBM), and Accelrys Korea Inc.

Aims of Workshop

1. To exchange latest ideas and results on computational methods for drug discovery (virtual screening, ADME prediction, experiment planning system, etc.)
2. To construct an Asian research community for sharing knowledge, training people, and incubating new business in e-drug discovery
