Course Overview
The Computer-Aided Drug Design online course is an 8-week program offered by Swayam, an initiative by the Indian Government’s ministry of education. The course lecture is given by academics from IIT Madras and is completely free. The candidate must pass an in-person test at one of the approved centres in order to earn certification. The examination would cost Rs. 1,000.
Drug research and development is a lengthy and costly process that can take up to ten years and cost up to billion dollars. Clinical trials fail for a variety of reasons. Computer-assisted drug design can shorten the process, eliminate surprises, and anticipate characteristics, lowering R&D costs. The Computer-Aided Drug Design training teaches students to use various free software to address molecular modeling, structure, and target-based design, quantum physics, drug similarity characteristics, QSAR pharmacokinetics, and dynamics.
The Computer-Aided Drug Design syllabus includes Introduction to drug discovery, ADME-rules, Structure and property, Force field/MM/QM, QSAR/Pharmacophore, Boundary conditions/Conformation, PK/PD, Enzymes/proteins structures/docking, etc.
