An introduction into Artificial Intelligence
(every winter semester, teaching language: German)
This course gives an introduction in into artifitical intelligence for pharmacists (and master chemistry and drug science). It combines a theoretical lecture (1 hour per semester) with practical excercise as jupyter notebooks (1 hour per semester). The development of this course was funded by the "Apothekerstiftung Westfalen Lippe)
The course will take place every friday, Seminarroom 1, Pharmacampus.
The theoretical lecture will take place from 10.00 c.t. to 11.00.
The practical excercise will take place from 11.00 ct. to 12.00. Please bring a laptop.

Computational Methods in Medicinal Chemistry and Drug Design
(every summer semester , teaching language: German)
The identification and development of new drugs is nowadays hardly imaginable without the use of computational methods. These methods support the complete development workflow from initial target and hit identification up to the development of the final drug candidates.
This course will give an introduction into computational methods for the design of chemical probes and potential drugs that are important in pharmaceutical research and medicinal chemistry: It will covers cheminformatic methods like fingerprint-based similarity searches, bioinformatic methods like homology modelling and molecular design methods like pharmacophore searches and molecular docking.
