Accelrys Life Science Training in New Jersey
Accelrys will be holding a pair of 2-day
workshops at Rutgers University, New Brunswick, NJ.
On June 4-5, the "Introduction to Cerius2 for Life Sciences" workshop
will be offered. This course provides an overview of molecular modelling
techniques for life sciences applications using Cerius2. The workshop will
focus on basic skills for use of the interface and will explore various modules
in the areas of rational-drug design, structure-based drug design, and
combinatorial chemistry. Prior modelling experience is not assumed making
this course a great place to learn molecular modelling with Cerius2.
On June 6-7, the "Pharmacophore Generation with Catalyst" workshop
will be presented. This workshop is intended to introduce customers to
pharmacophore generation and to the Catalyst user interface. The workshop
begins with the basics of the Catalyst interface and builds to simple
pharmacophore generation, selection of training sets, and three-dimensional
database searching. Methods used within Catalyst for automatic hypothesis
generation and manual hypothesis construction will be discussed. Some
optimisation of training sets and database searching will be covered as
well. Attendees should possess knowledge of basic UNIX commands and have a
basic understanding of QSAR theory.
Fees for each 2-day course are $1200 commercial, $900 government, and $660
academic. However, register for both courses and receive a 10% discount
for the second course.
