We are planning the Drug Design Workshop/hackathon at Kenyatta University in Mid May 2024.
Genomics has revolutionized the field of biology, enabling researchers to unravel the complexities of genetic information across diverse organisms. Bioinformatics, the interdisciplinary field that combines biology with computer science, is pivotal in analyzing and interpreting genomic data. Given the growing importance of genomics and bioinformatics in modern biological research, we propose organizing a workshop to equip participants with essential skills and tools to navigate the genomic and proteomics landscape through bioinformatics techniques. This will be a key step towards understanding the modern drug design process to find novel therapeutics for cancer treatment.
The workshop will focus on the fundamentals of in silico drug design, explore the application of machine learning in drug discovery, and dive into the fascinating world of bioinformatics. Additionally, we have an exciting group activity planned to collaborate on data mining of natural compounds from East Africa, putting our newfound skills into practice.
