Drug design is always a thrust area in industrial and research-based chemistry since a lot of candidate molecules fail in clinical trial per year and no therapeutically active molecule is present in the market with optimum activity and zero toxicity. Thus rational drug design is always a thrust area to a pharmaceutical or chemistry student through which he/ she can design a drug/lead with all checkboxes ticked. Moreover, biostatistics, either in pharmacology, bioassays, process design or in chemometrics play an important role to excavate the significant outcome of the results in order to assign the crucial variables of the project. In this course, we offer both theoretical as well as in hands-on training upon completion of which a student should be an independent worker at least for basic demands of these fields. The relevant theories would be dealt with here with basic understandings and above all the student would be introduced with various relevant software that he needs to encounter in his future domain/s. A lot of practical examples would be solved, a systematic approach would be inculcated and a few case studies would be given as realistic assignments. Various bioinformatics tools would be accompanied with, and after the completion of the course, the student should be confident enough to tackle such kind of problems in industries/academic fields.
N.B. Especially for B. Pharm, M. Pharm and Life Science students, although theoretical aspects of drug design and bioinformatics are dealt in theoretical curriculum, the recipient also lacks the application of the same in actual practice due to lack of practical or hands-on training during his curriculum. Also, the essence of the subject is partially lost to the student/s due to a lack of understanding of what actually occurs during drug design or QSAR or molecular docking. This course is aimed to fill this gap/s and hope this course would help all level of students to comprehend the actual essence, significance and architecture of drug design and QSAR.
