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.
