The Conference and Workshop on Computational Approaches in Drug Discovery and Development for Immune Disorders was organized by Amrita School of Pharmacy from March 7-9, 2019. Dr. Sabitha M. (Principal, School of Pharmacy), delivered the welcome address followed by a presidential address by Dr. Shantikumar V. Nair (Dean of Research, Amrita Vishwa Vidyapeetham). The conference was inaugurated by Dr. N. Chandramohan Kumar (Director, Centre for Development of Marine Biotechnology, School of Marine Sciences, Cochin University of Science & Technology).
The sessions included “Modeling Reveals the Origin of Pathogenicity in a Glu to Asp Variant of a Serpin in Chronic Obstructive Pulmonary Disease” by Dr. Debnath Pai (Professor, Department of Computational and Databases, IISC Bangalore), “Immune Disorders and Cancer – A Pharmacogenomic Model for the Design of P4-Drugs” by Dr. P. K. Krishnan Namboori (Associate Professor, AMMAS Research Lab, Coimbatore), “Drug Design Strategies using Target Structure-based and Ligand-based Modeling: Case Studies” by Dr. P Yogeswari (Professor, Department of Pharmacy, BITS Pilani, Hyderabad Campus) and “Addressing Structure-based Drug Design towards Neuroimmunomodulatory Disorders” by Dr. Gopi Mohan C. (Associate Professor, Centre for Nanosciences and Molecular Medicine, AIMS, Kochi). Interactive sessions and hands-on training on molecular docking and ADMET were provided by Dr. Sudipa Mondal (NIT, Nagpur).
