About the Course
This five-day cloud-based hands-on training programme will target and cover structure-based drug designing and Biologics design. Participants will get practical experience and in-person guidance in using the Maestro GUI, covering the organic molecule sketching, protein selection, preparation, and screening for hit identification of molecules against therapeutic targets.
The workshop will also include a brief recap of background theory for Molecular mechanics, Molecular Docking, and Molecular Dynamics via case studies on real-time industrial projects.

About NIT Raipur
National Institute of Technology Raipur situated in the capital of Chhattisgarh, has proven to be “avant-grade’ in the field of science and technology over past few decades in this region. With sweet memory of foundation ceremony by our president Hon’ble Dr. Rajendra Prasad on 14 thSeptember 1956.
The institute started with two departments namely Metallurgical and Mining Engineering. Later the inauguration of the Institute building was done by our Prime Minister Hon’ble Pt. Jawaharlal Nehru on 14th March 1963.
