Your Voice, Our Progress!

Thanks to BioDiscovery group for the program. The training was good and explanatory. I believe that I learned basics of molecular dynamics simulations using VMD/NAMD. The trainer is very good. But the methodology/protocol given is very rigid. Some steps are not clear. I cannot apply for all. Anyway now I am confident and thanks once again

I was very useful to me, i did many mistakes during course. my trainee help me to do steps. Thank you for the e workshop

I am Satisfied with the way the trainers made me understand about all the procedures of docking. I would like to suggest this workshop to my colleagues also. Thank you so much.

The course was very interesting and very useful in enhancing my knowledge. The instructor was very thorough with the subject and very helpful and patient. I am thankful for this opportunity and will look forward for more. Thanking you.

it is quite good. Two hours in one session is good. CHAT is good way as well. I learned a lot. Although I feel I still have a lot of things want to learn. Maybe it would be nice that it can provide extra session if some people need more information. of course you can increase the fee as well. or some extra help after sessions during we are really using this system. we can still ask questions later.

It was a great experience with you. Thank You very much BioDiscovery group for organizing such e-workshop. we benefited a lot. I hope you will organizing such e-workshop again in future. Best wishes for your great success.

It was a great learning experience with biodiscovery group and certainly this course will be helpful in my research work. Aligarh Muslim University

I'm satisfied with the workshop. The host was cooperative and diligently attended to all my queries. We did face some difficulties due to server error for which no one can be blamed for but we somehow made it. I feel like I learned something so I think the money spent was worth it. I have some suggestions: Please do mention the pre-requisite knowledge about the workshop. As a 1st year Undergraduate student, I had trouble initially understanding some complex models like the ramachandran plot, dihedral torsion angles, etc, thus it would be good for other students to prepare in advance before the commencement of the workshop. Overall I'm content :)

It s been a great workshop and the way the trainer explained was great

The course was well organized and all information was clear, time was also flexible. However, the aim of each practice was not very clear for me, and I would like to have more explanation of the result.

Workshop given valuable practical information and it is very useful to me to teach my students

The program was very helpful in providing the fundamentals and application part using bioinformatics as a tool . Thankyou for the guidance and support during the training.

This course provides many idea about the software tools,still some improvement is needed,like provide some videos related to that software,the 11 days workshop was good.

The e-Workshop programme was nicely designed and focused on practical base aspect which create interest to work out in future. Apart from classes, if one session of questionnaires will be there than it help us a lot. Though the mail communication with trainer is still available for future reference. If few theory materials of the applied software is available than this would be more value added to this eWorkshop. As a beginner, I am extremely satisfy over this 7 days eWorkshop and also in future looking forward to attend more programme.

Hi,this is Saurav Choudhary from New Delhi.Recently I have completed a research project in structure based drug discovery.It was nice working with BioDiscovery group.I would like to thank Asif sir for giving me this wonderful opportunity.Got to learn many new things and important concepts which will surely help me in building my career. Asif sir is the real genius.He was a constant support through out the project. Waiting for another chance to work with this wonderful team.

It was a great experience working with the members of BioDiscovery Group ....Asif sir has been a constant support all through project and guided me with every single query I had ....it was an amazing experience working hear.....hope I will get more chances to work with all you ....

It was a good step by step teaching modules. I would refer your service to others. I would love to get involved in more project like this.

I liked the process of delivering class. Good backup and support. I enjoyed working with biodiscovery group. I would definitely like to work more with biodiscovery.

I had a great experience while working on this project.I get to know about the different software being used in in-silico technology.Now I am aware of this technology, thanks to this project. All the team members are very cooperative and helpful.

The project taught us new skills and gave us the vivid and clear knowledge of virtual screening. It helped me in gaining insight of the topic.

The course was extremely helpful in learning using Autodock 2.0. It helped me a lot in writing my master thesis paper. Well done Biodiscovery team, I am looking forward to publish the paper with you.

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.
