The motto of AlagappaUniversity is to develop leadership in various disciplines through EXCELLENCE IN ACTION. It is our enormous delight to announce that we are organizing our "4th National Symposium cum Workshop on Recent Trends in Structural Bioinformatics and Computer Aided Drug Design [SBCADD'2012]" to be held in Department of Bioinformatics, Alagappa University, Karaikudi from February 20th to 23rd , 2012. The drive of the symposium cum workshop is to provide hypothetical and realistic exposure to Pharmacogenomics and Computer Aided Drug Design amidst the academicians and technocrats in order to cater the industrial and academic needs. On behalf of the Organizing Committee, it is our privilege and great pleasure to invite you to the meeting. We trust that SBCADD'2012 delegates can get hands-on training on structural bioinformatics and computer aided drug designing and can acquire more knowledge on recent spotlight on Structural Bioinformatics, Pharmacogenomics and Drug discovery from the lectures of eminent personalities. It would be a memorable experience for you both on personal and professional grounds and and we are looking forward your presence to make this Symposium a big success SCIENTIFIC TOPICS : * Small and Macromolecule X-ray Crystallography * Protein Modeling and Molecular Docking * Molecular Mechanics & Dynamics * Pharmacophore Modeling & 3D-QSAR * Free Energy Calculation Methods * De Novo Drug Design * Quantum Chemistry * Functional Genomics * Pharmacogenomics * Database Creation and Development * Text and Data mining REGISTRATION : The participants are requested to send the filled in registration form along with registration fee on or before 10th February, 2012.
