ISAC-IISER Tirupati Conference Workshop
About Schrödinger
Schrödinger is a global scientific company that specializes in computational chemistry and molecular modelling. They are known for developing highly sophisticated, physics-based modelling platforms that allow researchers to simulate and predict the behaviour of molecules with remarkable accuracy. These tools are widely used in the pharmaceutical and biotechnology industries to accelerate drug discovery by helping scientists identify promising drug candidates, and optimize molecular structures before moving to costly laboratory experiments. In addition to drug discovery Schrödinger’s technology is also applied in material science for designing new materials with specific properties, such as improved durability, efficiency, or performance. The company combines its software business with its own internal research programs, where it actively develops novel therapeutic candidates targeting diseases like cancer and other serious conditions. Through collaborations with academic institutions, research organizations, and major pharmaceutical companies, it plays a significant role in advancing modern scientific innovation and transforming how new drugs and materials are discovered and developed.
Workshop Details
Schrödinger is conducting a 3-hour workshop aimed at introducing participants to the fundamentals of computational molecular modelling. The workshop will be conducted by Dr. Koushik Kasavajhala, and cloud-based instances will be provided. They are online virtual computers that run on remote servers and can be accessed through a web browser like Google Chrome. They come with all the required software pre-installed, so participants don’t need to download or install anything on their own laptops. This allows users to perform tasks smoothly using powerful computing resources over the internet
Requirements for Participants
Participants are expected to come with a laptop (mandatory for hands-on activities) and a Google chrome browser must be installed in your device. These requirements will ensure that all attendees can actively participate in the workshop and make the most of the practical learning experience.
