Bench Scientists’ & Modellers’ Discussions on Discovery Tools & Modeling
Chair: Jim Wikel (Coalesix)
More Information on Session including Abstracts & Bios....
In this session a panel of experimental and computational chemists will discuss their experiences in using computational modeling methods in drug discovery. They will discuss where the methods and software are having success, and where current methods are not yet meeting their needs, are failing or have challenges or complications. Short presentations on drug discovery experiences will be used to seed discussion of cheminformatics-driven medicinal chemistry and lead optimization and conversations on where new developments could aid improvement in practice and tools.
