Wie lässt sich die Wirkstoffentwicklung durch den zweckgerichteten Einsatz der Chemoinformatik beschleunigen und effektivieren? Ausgewiesene Fachleute – sowohl aus großen pharmazeutischen Unternehmen als auch aus hochspezialisierten Startup-Firmen – demonstrieren Ihnen, welche verfügbaren Programme sich für welche Probleme eignen und wie man in der Praxis Schwierigkeiten begegnet. Sie wenden sich dabei nicht an Softwareentwickler, sondern an Anwender aus allen Bereichen der pharmazeutischen Forschung und medizinischen Chemie.
