eCheminfo drug discovery workshop week
Oxford University
20 - 24 July 2009
Workshop groups will study problems with hands-on examples using computational drug discovery methods and discuss issues highlighted by examples and Case Studies presented by instructors. A Case Study set with a focus on Kinases will be used to link all workshop activities throughout the week.
More information on program can be found at:
Blog: http://barryhardy.blogs.com/cheminfostream/
Web: http://echeminfo.com/comty_oxfordworkshop09
A Bursary Award will be used to support the attendance of a selection of academic participants, who may be working in any area of research related to drug discovery. To apply for the bursary please send an email with
a) description of your research (ca. 500 words);
b) your training needs (ca. 500 words),
c) your CV

Online Game for Students to Learn Spectroscopy
With the intention of helping students to learn spectroscopy, an open access online game has been developed. It is presently in beta-form but already has 100s of spectra, mostly NMR, to challenge and stimulate.
The game is described in the following blog posts
http://usefulchem.blogspot.com/2009/02/web-based-spectra-game.html and http://www.chemspider.com/blog/the-spectral-game-as-an-educational-tool.
html
The game can be found at this url for the time being:
http://lxsrv7.oru.edu/~alang/ and there is a prize now announced:
http://usefulchem.blogspot.com/2009/02/prize-for-spectra-game.html
ChemSpider is looking for additional spectral data to be added to the game. The data must be "Open Data". The spectral data will be deposited to ChemSpider for hosting and the spectral game will draw on both the structures and the spectra from ChemSpider in order to run.
