BIGCHEM second Autumn School: Computer-Aided Drug Discovery

Modena, 25-27 October 2017

Every half a year, one of the partners of the Marie Curie BIGCHEM consortium organizes a school about Computational Chemistry and
Pharmacology. The third BIGCHEM School will take place at the University of Modena and Reggio Emilia, Italy, from 25th to 27th October 2017.

The morning lectures will be open to the public and will focus on Computer-Aided Drug Discovery. The attendance to these talks is completely free, we only would require you to register by sending an email to bgasset@bigchem.eu with the following information:

  • Name
  • Family name
  • Company / University

Deadline for registration: October 10th


In the afternoon there will be training activities for BIGCHEM PhD fellows, which, in principle, are not open.
