CABANA Workshop: Resources and tools for target identification and drug discovery
Date: 6 - 8 November 2019
In this course, participants will learn the necessary theoretical background and basic tools of molecular target identification in pathogens and building of compound libraries for virtual screening. We also will introduce general concepts of molecular docking simulations.
Keywords: Proteins (proteins)

Target audience: This course is for biological researchers who want to learn more about the application of structural information in their work and how to use some of the key bioinformatics resources that are available. Prerequisites No previous experience in the field of structural bioinformatics is required, however a basic knowledge of protein structure would be of benefit. Participants should be familiar with basic Linux operations - http://www.ee.surrey.ac.uk/Teaching/Unix/ - and have some experience of bioinformatics tools and databases. Important: We strongly recommend participants bring their own laptop with Linux OS for the course. Please also note: this course will be taught in Spanish, however the trainers are fluent in English and can offer language support where feasible. A number of travel fellowships are available for this course - early-stage researchers and researchers from underrepresented groups are especially encouraged to apply for CABANA travel fellowships. You can apply for travel fellowships via the course application form.
