BDG LifeSciences is a distinguished bioinformatics company established in 2010 and operates globally. Headquartered in India the company specializes in facilitating workshops, training programs, novel & innovative research projects, and online courses in technologies of bioinformatics & life science. The company is registered under the Ministry of MSME (Micro, Small, and Medium Enterprises), Government of India, with the registration number UDYAM-UP-01-0019151. Recently, BDG Lifesciences, India has authorized BBR Group Pty Ltd., Australia (ACN 608 550 849), to operate its programs in Australia & New Zealand.
With a focus on practical application of technology, where participants work on their own computer/laptop on software/servers,  BDG LifeSciences has been a leader in the sector for the last 14 years.
Since its inception, BDG LifeSciences has successfully educated a diverse range of participants globally, including students, scientists, faculty members, professors, and corporate executives.

Innovation & creativity is an integral part of the BDG Lifesciences and we always launch new programs on the newest topics. We have launched a 10-day Technical Training Program in DRUG DISCOVERY & DESIGNING | FROM MOLECULAR DOCKING TO MD SIMULATIONS  in which we will teach about the process of Drug Discovery & Design along with the interaction of inhibitors with biological targets. This 10 day, hands-on training course in which every day 60-90 minutes interactive training sessions will be conducted to give the user a unique learning experience will focus on the use of efficient technologies used in Structure-based drug design and the focus will be on how the structural data can be used in molecular modeling to design lead molecules based on the structural features of the active site that can lead to the design of new molecules which can be drugs and have good target potency.

VIDEO RECORDING WILL BE PROVIDED. On successful completion of the course participation certificate will be awarded.

As it is 100% hands-on training program participants will run the processes on their own computer systems having Windows OS with a unique learning experience. The program will be of great help to students/ researchers/ faculty/ pathologists/ scientists in learning this latest technology.
