Summary of Meeting
The Keystone Symposia meeting on “Computer-Aided Drug Design” will bring leading academic and industrial researchers together to discuss the many facets of computer-aided approaches to drug discovery. The goal of this meeting is to cover the use and development of cutting-edge theoretical computational methods for structure-based design, ligand-based design, ADME/tox modeling, and homology modeling. Case studies that illustrate the interface between modeling, structural biology and medicinal chemistry will also be presented. The meeting will emphasize how computational approaches can be used to address many of the key issues in drug discovery. The Keystone Symposia format provides an extraordinary opportunity for a broad array of computational chemists, structural biologists, and medicinal chemists to meet and exchange ideas on the newest approaches to using structure and modeling to discover new pharmaceuticals.
