Protein Modeling and Rational Drug Design

Courses that make Professionals out of Students

bioCampus, the Training Division of GCK Biosciences Pvt. Ltd. invites applications for batches in April, May 2008.


Protein Modeling and Rational Drug Design
(Bio, Chem & Pharma Informatics, Homology, Modeling, Protein Structure Optimization, docking & Pharmacophore Based Drug Design, QSAR studies and Live Project)

The Human Genome Project has revealed the existence of approximately 40,000 genes, some of which could be used as new targets for drug design purposes. There is a tremendous potential in the study of their functional genomics and the corresponding protein structure vis-à-vis drug design. Almost all the leading pharmaceutical and biotech companies are focusing their efforts to discover new targets and to design new and better drugs.

The aim of this course is to impart training in the basic principles of protein structure, to generate the three dimensional structure of a protein from its amino acid sequence and its utilization in the structure based drug design studies. The course covers computational approaches to the drug discovery & design processes such as analogue based designs and pharmacophore based studies that are very useful in the absence of 3D-structural information of relevant targets.

There is a huge shortage in manpower with the requisite skill sets to perform such studies. This course tries to address such a need by imparting a comprehensive training in Protein Modeling and Rational Drug Discovery techniques.

Duration: 4 Months (3 hours per day, 6 days a week)

Advanced Bioinformatics
(In Silico Proteomics, Chemo, Pharma and Toxico-Informatics, Linux, C, Oracle, XML, PERL and BioPerl, Java, JSP, HTML, Mathematics, Biostatistics, SAS, ASP .Net and C# .Net and Live Project)

Bioinformatics stands at the interface of molecular biology and information sciences and promises to provide critical tools for managing the immense volume of biological data. The bioinformatics market primarily is driven by the need of pharmaceutical and biotechnology companies to increase the efficiency of their drugdiscovery and development efforts. These organizations use bioinformatics to identify drug targets and drug candidates, decreasing the time to bring new therapeutics to market

The objective of this course is to impart training in software application development, mathematics, statistics, cell & molecular biology, and other bioinformatics tools like SAS (Statistical Analytical System). Emphasis would be laid on understanding scientific databases & algorithms, sequence analysis and programing in various languages applicable to modern biology. The course includes an integrated project which involves the application of the above aspects.

This course is designed to address the growing need of manpower for the biotech and pharmaceutical organizations.
