Flyer: Available here. Hands-on Workshop – Modeling with SeeSAR by BioSoveIT (https://www.biosolveit.de/) With an exciting hands-on learning session with the title “Medicinal Chemistry in Motion: Introduction to Rational Compound Design” BioSolveIT will contribute to our scientific programme.  You will learn how structure-based drug design supports lead optimization by turning binding-mode insights into actionable ideas for decorating and improving ligand scaffolds.What makes BioSolveIT workshops special is their interactive, beginner-friendly format: using our drug design dashboard SeeSAR, you can explore binding prediction, fragment-growing strategies, scaffold exploration, and more. No computational chemistry expertise required, though experts will find plenty of depth. Please bring your own laptop and install SeeSAR in advance (find instructions here: https://www.biosolveit.de/workshops/gp2a-2026/); registered participants will receive a workshop license so you can continue testing the software for several weeks after the session.
