The American Chemical Society (ACS) has many free webinars that may be of interest to WCG participants. Tomorrow, they are presenting a free webinar entitled "From Molecules to Medicine: How Structure Helps Cure Disease". This will start on October 9 at
----------------------------------------2 PM ET, and is approximately 1 hour long. Go to http://www.acs.org/content/acs/en/events/upco...nars/crystallography.html for more details and registration. The instructions you will receive include the following: "You will be connected to audio using your computer's microphone and speakers (VoIP)." This (so far) has not been entirely correct. Your PC's microphone will be disabled -- if you wish to ask questions -- a chat window is available. Many of these webinars are of a technical nature. I didn't put the webinar title or date in the topic so that I can list additional webinars that may be of interest to the group, as they become available.

The American Chemical Society (ACS) has published its 2015 Drug Design and Delivery Symposium schedule. These webinars are free.
"Meet with expert chemists from every aspect of the drug discovery process to learn how drugs are designed, screened, tested and more. Join us on the last Thursday of every month for informative presentations, and get the chance to ask your questions. More information will be coming soon." Click the above hyperlink for the 2015 schedule and registration information. |

This Thursday, Jan. 29, 2015 from 2:00 - 3:00 PM EST, there will be another free American Chemical Society (ACS) webinar, that maybe of interest to the WCG Community:
"Designing Better Drug Candidates" -- Session 1 of the Drug Design and Delivery Symposium "Only about 4% of candidate drugs reach the market. The main culprits of this failure are due to issues with dosing , exposure and toxicity. Join us as Dr. Paul Leeson shares how improving candidate quality can be facilitated by the selection of lead-like chemical starting points, control of physicochemical properties during optimization, employment of predictive chemistry tools, and the application of ligand efficiency measures." More info and a link to register for the webinar is available here . |

Re: Free ACS Webinar
This Thursday, Feb. 26, 2015 from 2:00 - 3:00 PM EST, there will be another free American Chemical Society (ACS) webinar, that maybe of interest to the WCG Community: Strategies to Improve Solubility of Drug Candidates "Dr. Michael Walker presents the factors that govern the aqueous solubility of small molecule drugs. In addition, a number of different strategies for improving solubility through structural modification are presented. Join us to learn what can stand in the way of optimizing solubility and ask your questions. " This is Session 2 of the Drug Design and Delivery Symposium More info and a link to register for the webinar is available here. |

Re: Free ACS Webinar
----------------------------------------This Thursday, March 19, 2015 from 2:00 - 3:00 PM EDT, there will be another free American Chemical Society (ACS) webinar, that may be of interest to the WCG Community: Fragment-Based Drug Design Strategies "New approaches are essential to deliver drugs and tool compounds against increasingly difficult targets. Rather than screening millions of drug-sized compounds, fragment-based drug discovery starts with libraries of just a few thousand very small molecules, or fragments. This enables a more thorough exploration of chemical space to find better starting points for lead optimization. Join us as Dr. Dan Erlanson explains all this and more in the third session of our symposium." This is Session 3 of the Drug Design and Delivery Symposium More info and a link to register for the webinar is available here. [Edit 1 times, last edit by littlepeaks at Mar 17, 2015 5:14:17 PM] |

Re: Free ACS Webinar
This Thursday, April 30, 2015 from 2:00 - 3:00 PM EDT, there will be another free American Chemical Society (ACS) webinar, that may be of interest to the WCG Community: Picking the Right Screening Strategy "Screening strategies are chosen based on available knowledge and tools to identify molecules that can be optimized to medicines. Join Dr. David Swinney as he shares the pros and cons of different screening strategies including target-based and empirical/phenotypic-based." This is Session 4 of the Drug Design and Delivery Symposium More info and a link to register for the webinar is available here. |

This Thursday, May 28, 2015 from 2:00 - 3:00 PM EDT, there will be another free American Chemical Society (ACS) webinar, that may be of interest to the WCG Community:
Avoiding PAINS (pan-assay interference compounds) "High throughput screening can produce a wealth of new drug candidates and produce many promising leads. However many of these leads are nothing more than dead ends. Join Jonathan Baell as he shares some screening strategies and an easy way to recognize if your hits are PAINS." This is Session 5 of the Drug Design and Delivery Symposium More info and a link to register for the webinar is available here .   |
