Your Voice, Our Progress!

Through this workshop i got clarity on basic concepts and practical knowledge regarding basic tools in field of molecular biology and genetic engineering.

It was nice experience. Would like to attain more workshops. Late evening hours are not comfortable. You can arrange it on Saturday and Sunday that would be great. Secondly live workshops will be more comfortable than online. In online atleast videoconferencing should be provided. Rest was nice. My trainer was really interested in teaching and clarifying doubts. Thank you Dr.Shantanu R Joshi

The course was helpful for me and answered some of my questions. My knowledge has been improved in docking after the course. The trainer was patient with me and explains every thing in a good way. My course was one hour for 10 days, I found it was not enough as most of the time gone in typing and try to explain what I mean and in some stage I found difficulty and couldn't reached what I meant. It will be perfect if you could find another way for communication but not chatting and extend the time of each workshop. In the welcome email, I have been asked to download software but no one mentions that some of them cannot be downloaded in MacBook laptop. As I used Mac I couldn't try some of the programs. I think it will be helpful if you mention in the beginning that, it is better to use windows computer.

The workshop was quite informative and I had a great experience atrending it. I personally feel that if powerpoint presentation / video could have been included in the first session for better understanding.

This program was very good. All the trainers are very supportive. I have cleared all my doubts regarding this workshop. All topics are effectively completed.

It was a great experience. I got to lean a lot. The trainer was really helpful and patient. Thank you!

The course was extremely useful. Our coordinator was very helpful and supportive. She cleared our dobuts with full of her efforts. It will be an immense pleasure in attending future seminars also. Thanks and Regards, Pratibha Sharma B.Tech Biotechnology Shoolini University, Solan, HP

Was a very excellent workshop, learned the process of insilico vaccine designing procrdures, also got some of the basics and logics cleared, and i am also attending the workshop on cancer dated 23 and 24 december 2016, thank you BioDiscovery Group for providing me with this knowledge.

Its a really good program. The faculty was really helpful and extremely clear about the flow of the workshop. The best part about it was i understood the faculty at every point of time. Thank you.

It was wonderful e training program, learned about various computational tools of genomics and proteomics.

The sessions were very good and interactive. Learnt new techniques online and that's the amazing part. Overall it was a nice e-workshop, Yet there could be some improvements. The tutor was very kind, helping, interactive and quite patient in clearing the doubts. Looking forward to more of eWorkshops from BioDiscovery Group.

The workshop is good learned basic tools used in bioinformatics.

5 days of eworkshop on genomics and proteomics was informative. Thank you.

The workshop was very useful and the way of communication worked well. I wish to thank Biodiscovery Group team to make learning this accessible.

The workshop was well organised and the instructor, Mr. Yash, gave clear instructions. It was my first hands-on-experience with molecular modelling and the webinar gave me a fairly good idea about the use of the softwares commonly used for modelling and simulations. I would overall judge my webinar experience as informative and useful. Regards.

I am very happy to complete my project entitled Study to test the binding of THC- Delta 9-tetrahydrocannabinol & derivatives on Acetylcholine binding protein (AChBP): A Virtual Screening & Molecular Docking.At start of the project I was puzzled how I will complete,but due to complete guidance from BioDiscovery Group I completed my project. I specially thank the team for their continuous guidance and clarification about my project work. I am excited that, project I worked on has been submitted for publications. BioDiscovery have even given me idea how take my project to the next phase(i.e Wet lab).

My project is regarding the design of new inhibitors for HIV integrase, by blocking its site of action and hence preventing the disease. AIDS is a renowned disease which is still in need of a cure. My project focuses directly on the aspect of finding a drug for the disease. It has many phases and is systematic in its design. I found the project structure highly constructive and easy to learn. The softwares can be easily accessed through the help of a link provided. I have gained presumptuous knowledge regarding the various steps followed in drug designing and molecular modelling. Now, I am confident enough to take up a related project and work on it successfully.

It is very pleasure to work with Biodiscovery. I hope i get another chance to work with. The training team was helpful in the duration of project period. Thank you for the opportunity.

BioDiscovery is my first step in the ladder towards my biotech career.I thank guidance of Deva sir,Akansha mam and Asif sir for their guidance to complete my project and help me to gain depth knowledge in this field. This project has given me ideas to do further more similar projects and to carry my work further in wet lab. Publication guidance was excellent. Thanks a lot for helping me in the first step in the journey of thousand mile.

I Thank the BIODISCOVERY team to give me such an opportunity to do a novel research project. I feel Immense pleasure in working with asif sir and akansha mam. Guidance and clarification was very good. Now i have confidence and experience in Research areas. The drug can be tested using clinical trials(wet lab) and carried out for the treatment of cancer.

Hi, This is Jayaram from Bangalore. Recently I have completed a research project in drug discovery under the guidance of BioDiscovery Group. It is a very good opportunity for anyone like me, to work for this project and to be a part of this team. It is great place where one can learn and to get good command in concepts of bioinformatics mainly drug designing. As far as my project is concerned, I have learnt the concepts and tools applied in drug designing and I'm very confident about the same. and I'm very confident about the same. Thank you for giving me this opportunity Sincerely Jayaram C

It was great working with the BioDiscovery Group. Asif sir as well as the staff of the organization guided me really well in the project. They were easily accessible, so doubts got cleared instantly. Knowledge was easily shared. In all it was a nice experience to complete my project from this organization.

I have worked on Ebola virus program and being in touch with biodiscovery group people since past 8 months. The course work designed is very useful to get hands on drug designing concept. Thank you Biodiscovery Group people for clearing all my doubts during the journey. I would recommend each and everyone to do atleast a short term program with biodiscovery group to understand the concepts behind drug designing. Thank you and Best wishes Pallavi

It was a very good experience I had with BioDiscovery group. The work went on smooth and the training was good, supplemented with appropriate materials to be equipped with the subject matter. The trainers were patient and helpful. I got an Experience Letter too from Asif Naqvi (CEO) for having researched in here. By a positive approach, excellence and efficiency of work, towards the projects, I am confident that BioDiscovery Group is on its way to provide me the credentials with the aid of a publication and/or a poster at International conference. Overall it was very interesting and fantastic experience to research at the BioDiscovery Group.

This was a great experience. I learned a lot about the computer aided drug design, bioinformatics and computational biology. I'm so thankful for Prof. Asif for his great efforts during the project and for helping me to complete this work. I recommend to add some extra phases such as virtual screening, protein active site and residues prediction, and homology modeling in case of working with novel protein. Thanks you

Dear Sir/ Madam Thanks for all your help and continued encouragement during the project. Research project was informative and worthwhile.Thank you team for such a nice experience which would help me in the future endeavors.

It was an informative research project as i learned alot about the computational approaches for drug discoveries and designing. Thanks for giving me this opportunity and for helping me to build my future career. Adding some phases will be interesting and informative such as drug target selection, Homology modeling ( in case of no protein structure available in PDB), virtual screening based on either structural similarity or pharmacophore similarity and protein 3D structure analysis. Special thanks for Prof. Asif for helping me in the research project and for his great efforts too.

it was a good learning experience while working on research project" Molecular Docking study of p38 MAP Kinase|Inhibitory study for discovery of new anti-inflammatory drugs"

I found this project is powerful, benefit and excellent.but it need more concern in theory.

I had worked on a research project under the guidance of Dr. Asif Naqvi. He was really very helpful and kind during the course of the project. I have also done workshops with Biodiscovery Group which has helped me in my career and many different ways. The team was very helpful and very quick whenever I was in need of any help or faced any doubts. The project was explained and demonstrated to me in a well and organised way. Looking forward to work with this firm again in my near future.

Learning NGS was really useful and informative for me. It helped to enhance my understanding in NGS. Hope more workshops in future. Thank you!

Name of the program: 7-day NGS workshop: 1- The trainer is very knowledgeable and can answer any question related to the topic. 2- I suggest that the next NGS training to be as a project-based learning workshop instead of sending theoretical information and YouTube videos via Skype. In other words, the training is better to be on a project related to the topic, and the trainer sends tasks gradually to the participants to be performed daily, then Q&A session for every task to answer all doubts. Briefly, like last year Drug discovery technology workshop which was very interesting and amazing.

Overall it was good. Bioinfo/analysis part was a little difficult to understand. The sessions would have been better if they have audio than text. That would have been more interactive. But very informative overall..for a starter.

I found the workshop very helpful as it will not only help in my PhD but also in future endeavours. Devadrita Dey Sarkar made many of doubts cleared in very easy way. Overall I found the workshop enlightening and helpful for me.

The course contents and the tutor who taught are really good. I would like to mention that a video tutorial would have been lot better along with chat on Skype(to clear doubts), like the coursera workshops. It s really good to know that the tutors are extending their support to clear doubts if any, even after the workshop. Thank you for all the support.

Many thanks for providing the opportunity to learn something new in such an easy way. I have one suggestion though, that you could schedule the classes for the same time for all students with an interactive chatting manner. Thank you for the pleasant experience.

The training programme is very useful for developing basic knowledge on Protein modelling and interpreting the Molecular Dynamics mechanism. Overall the institution is very cooperative and supportive, especially, Yash sir. Thank You

I decided to join this workshop in order to get hands on experience in molecular docking. We are using network pharmacology based approaches to scientifically validate the Ayurvedic medicinal plants and formulations. In that we use docking as a validation tool for the data generated. This workshop was helpful in that aspect to get the hands on exposure. The positive things about the workshop were (1) one on one training that gave opportunity to understand the lessons well and clear the doubts, (2) introduced different tools/software that gave an idea how to select them based on the application and (3) the trainers showed the patience to clear the doubts. I felt it would have been excellent if the theory part was explained in a proper and organised way which was weak at many places. Also felt that it would have been useful if you had provided some video links to refer after the course hours. Also have the opinion that the fee of INR. 17000 only for modelling and docking was higher. Altogether it was a nice experience for the last 20 days and I thank all the trainers and the BD team! Wish the BD team all the best in your future endeavours!!!

The Molecular Dynamic Simulation (MDS) training session was clear, well organized. Advantages: --The trainer was accurate in time. --Most of my questions and queries were clearly answered. Disadvantages: --The MDS outcome interpretation has not been explained clearly. --Also, the fee of the workshop is very expensive from my view. Comment: In overall, I am pleased with the workshop and I highly recommend this workshop to other colleague.

The online training for drug discovery has been an amazing experience for me. Its easily accessible and one can be a part of the training from any part of the world because it is conducted online. Understanding the basics of how actually molecules are selected to be in the run of being a potential drug in the future is all I ever wanted to learn and explore, and Biodiscovery group made it possible.
