The first international summerschool AI4MedChem took place at the PharmaCampus Münster from 19th to the 22nd of September. The 30 participants from France, Great Britain, Israel, Italy, Luxembourg, Spain and Germany learned about methods in artificial intelligence for medicinal chemistry and drug discovery.
Artificial Intelligence for Medicinal Chemistry and Drug Design
19.09.2023 - 22.09.2023 in Münster
The Summer School AI4MedChem
will provide an introductory course AI for interested students, phd students or post-docs in the field of Pharmacy, Medicinal Chemistry, Life Sciences or related fields.
Applications are now closed!
Institute of Pharmaceutical and Medicinal Chemistry, Corrensstr. 48, 48149 Münster
The course is intended for participants who are interested in artificial intelligence methods but have no idea about them. The course combines the theoretical aspects in the form of lectures with the practical aspects using Jupyter Notebooks. Importantly, programming experience is not required, since these Jupyter Notebooks make it possible to teach the practical aspects without any prior programming knowledge. We will use our just released Jupyter notebooks for this course (see: https://doi.org/10.1002/ardp.202200628)
The program is divided into a morning session, each with lectures that covers the theoretical aspects and a hands-on exercise using Jupyter Notebooks. For the practical exercises an own laptop (or a tablet with keyboard) is needed, but the Jupyter Notebooks and the calculations will be executed on specific university servers.
