Free Virtual Workshop: Learn How to Perform Virtual Screening Simulations
🗓️ Tuesday, 4th November, 15:30 (GMT)
Virtual screening (VS) is a key computational method in drug discovery, used to identify hits, optimize leads, and explore new scaffolds. It streamlines research through structure-based and ligand-based approaches.
In this workshop, you'll learn to use the Hermes graphical user interface (GUI) and run virtual screening campaigns with GOLD. The session includes expert presentations, live demos, and hands-on practice with support from CCDC tutors.
Special guest speaker: Professor Armando Albert, Departamento de Cristalografía y Biología Estructural, Instituto de Química Física "Blas Cabrera", Consejo Superior de Investigaciones Científicas.
