BIP: 9th Advanced in silico Drug Design Workshop 2026 (9ADD)

The 9th Advanced in silico Drug Design Workshop [9ADD] (26.1.2026 – 30.1.2026) is focused on using in silico tools and approaches in drug design. We cover both structure-based drug design (molecular docking, molecular dynamics, structural bioinformatics tools) and ligand-based drug design (QSAR, pharmacophores, deep learning) with lectures and on-hand tutorials.
