Tematika

Computational molecular engineering is a central, modern field of drug design. Theoretical and practical introduction is provided with details of relevant softwares. In Journal Club sessions, recent research articles will be featured with the students to deepen their knowledge in the areas discussed during the previous lectures. In this way, the students can discover further connections themselves and make sure of the usefulness of their newly obtained knowledge in molecular engineering. The lectures will take place weekly or (if possible) contracted into 4 blocks.
