Chemoinformatics is rapidly becoming a "hot topic" in drug discovery and chemistry. The chemical counterpart to bioinformatics, it underlies much of modern drug design and is impacting the way that chemistry is done.
I571 CHEMICAL INFORMATION
TECHNOLOGY is a 3CH graduate course aimed at
introducing
students to the fundamental techniques of chemoinformatics for
chemistry-related disciplines. The course will cover a wide range of
topics, including representation and use of chemical structure
information, computer-aided drug design, 3D visualization and
computation, and handling of large volumes of chemical information. It is taught by
David Wild, and as well as being delivered to classroom students in
Bloomington and Indianapolis, will be offered as a Distance Education
course to any graduate in the US through teleconference and web conferencing services.
