Introduction to molecular modeling in drug discovery

“I learned new concepts even though I have been in this field for almost 30 years. The final LiveDesign exercise was particularly enjoyable and eye-opening. I recommend this course for both beginners and experience medicinal chemists.”

Michael WaltersResearch Associate Professor, University of Minnesota

“An eye-opening and enjoyable deep-dive into the computational tools Schrödinger has developed for streamlining drug discovery for industrial and academic researchers.”

Croix LaconsayPostdoctoral Researcher University of Houston

“I definitely learned more about molecular modeling and feeling excited for this field to grow more. I also feel like I leveled up as a medicinal chemist with the ability to use Maestro in my back pocket.”

Tom LuongPTC Therapeutics

“The course was elegantly organized and profoundly impacted my understanding of CADD and the techniques surrounding rational ligand-receptor design.”

Marshall LougeeGraduate Student at the University of Pennsylvania

“This course has been an amazing experience in accelerating how I work with my data, think about analyzing it, and get the most information out of it.”

Ivana Serrano LachapelGraduate Student at Stanford University

“The courteous instructor made even the trickiest concepts feel clear. The engaging explanations, punctuated by real-world examples, kept me glued. But the true gem was the hands-on work with Maestro.”

Oluwaseun AjayiGraduate Student at University of Georgia

“The course content was meticulously structured, offering a comprehensive overview of molecular modelling techniques and their applications. The instructors distilled complex concepts into digestible modules, making the material accessible to participants with varying levels of expertise.”

Mursal MohdStudent at Integral University

“This is a well-structured, concise, and information-dense course. The final project applies docking knowledge to analyze hit series of ligands, and perform ligand analog ideation using the LiveDesign platform. I am extremely thankful to Schrödinger for crafting this accessible and comprehensive introductory course.”

Sthitadhi MaitiPhD Graduate Student at Arizona State University

“The course’s highlight for me was the practical application of what I learned at the end of the course, providing a comprehensive perspective on the drug development pipeline that has proven to be valuable in my own studies.”

Vladislav CherdantsevStudent at Massachusetts Institute of Technology

“I highly recommend this course to anyone that is looking to dive into the world of computational drug discovery, this is indeed a good starting point, there is a whole lot to take home. The skills gained here will be greatly utilized in my research to design, synthesize and optimize active biological agents.”

Oluwaseun AdegbiteGraduate Assistant at Ohio University

“As a medicinal chemist, the power of structure enabled drug design is clear to me, but I have not used it in my workflows in my previous roles. The course was a great starter for me to begin adding these tools to my kit. I was happy to see how easy it was to jump right into Maestro and LiveDesign.”
