This course provides a comprehensive overview of pharmaceutical informatics. Pharmaceutical informatics is a study of wide-range of computational and data-driven approaches to accelerate steps in the drug development process including hit compound discovery, compound optimization and side-effect prediction. The course focuses especially on the drug design step, and gives detailed introduction to Ligand-Based Drug Design (LBDD) and Structure-Based Drug Design (SBDD).
To obtain understanding of the role and various approaches in pharmaceutical informatics.
To be able to explain representative methods in Ligand-Based Drug Design and Structure-Based Drug Design.
