Drug Design

Greetings from RUSC,
Here’s good news for all the enthusiastic students. And professionals who are interested in Bioinformatics and computational biology. But bioinformatics has become an important part. Though many areas and can help improve drug discovery. So the processes of designing a new drug using bioinformatics. And tools have opened a new area of research for all. So it is an immense pleasure to announce that ‘Rajshahi University Science Club’ is offering a 3-day training. And that is virtual training on ”Computer-Aided Drug Design for beginners” in collaboration with ideSHi.

Drug DesignTraining Program in detail:

🔘 The training will be conducted through online software (zoom. Class link will be provided via e-mail.
