6ADD workshop/challenge (30.1.-3.2.2023) is focused on using in silico tools and approaches in drug design. We will cover both structure-based drug design (molecular docking, molecular dynamics, structural bioinformatics tools) and ligand-based drug design (QSAR, pharmacophores, deep learning) with lectures and on-hand tutorials. Last day you can try your skills on the ligand selection challenges.
