Theme The conference objective is to
exchange ideas across discipline boundaries of computational chemistry, chemoinformatics, chemogenomics, including
latest advances in computational approaches to drug discovery innovation. The
conference aims to bring together industrialists, researches, educators and
students interested in computational methods and to assess and publicize the
latest methodological advances and challenges underlying modern drug
discovery. |

Relevance & Key Benefits • Learn the best practices of chemistry information handling and
database integration in R&D, to enhance processing power and workflow
efficiencies for seamless decision-making in shorter timeframe. • Diagnose current and future developments on how
chemogenomics and chemoinformatics could help in assimilating data from
laboratory bench to drug development in the most time-efficient and
functional manner. • Benchmark against the most efficient & cost
effective drug design approaches and chemoinformatics deployment. • Analyse and discuss major challenges of
chemoinformatics integration in key drug design processes. • Gain winning strategies in chemistry knowledge management,
from effective scientific data storage, analysis, sharing, organisation and
utilisation to optimise cross functional productivity and creativity. • Optimise laboratory data management through effective
and integrated communication system, to achieve maximum accessibility across
different functional groups. • Foster discussions to discover user-friendly
chemogenomics and chemoinformatics R&D solutions that requires minimum
maintenance. • Overcome current bottlenecks in Life Science research
community, by learning from your peers on how they overcome resource
deficiency within the organisation and industry. Registration Pre-registration is required to attend the conference and
