What People Told About Us
I would like to extend my thanks to BDG Lifesciences for providing such a wonderful experience learning from exceptionally knowledgeable trainers. I had no knowledge on Bioinformatics (Drug Discovery and NGS) before the training but after 1 + 3 days of training I am feeling slightly confident that I know about Bioinformatics and it is not a mystery to me. I would like to thanks all the trainers who supported us throughout the training. It was worth value for money. I would strongly recommend my friends to do this training from BDG Lifesciences.

King Fahd Medical Research Center, Jeddah, SA, attended the program at Dubai
It was gud bt yr the last topics were covered in hurry due to lack of timing, i m not say that the faculty has not taught us gud bt faculty wouldn't be able to do anything if this much short period is provided to him, so acc to my perception wrkshop should be conducted for at least 3 days, bt in over all experience it ws gud.

This workshop really exciting and knowledgeable, though this i able to develop new drug for pathogen. Thank you Asif Naqvi Sir and his team.
Shaheed Rajguru College of Applied Sciences for Women. University of Delhi, attended the program at Delhi
It was one of the best workshop. The faculty & the staff was helping students individually, they are providing you the PPTs, Softwares, Hard copy of each & everything. If you are late you can ask them again, if you didn't understand, they'll come to your desk & help you as per your demand. The atmosphere & arena was mind boggling. The software's suggested were user friendly & come under the section of 'Time complexity', from learning to convert MOL file to PDB file to view everything in Chimera, the experience was fantastic. Thank you so much :)

It was good. Presentation could have been better by explaining in depth regarding cancer and minimize the time consumed during hands on section. Because I believe more work can be done in 2 days.
L M S RAMAIAH INSTITUTE OF TECHNOLOGY, attended the program at Bangalore
The workshop was very helpful for my research work. Naqvi sir taught the critical and complecated steps in very easy manner. Now I am confident that I can use these molecular modelling softwares by my own on my laptop at my time. No restrictions, as the softwares provided and taught were freely available. Now I am independent for doing CADD studies.

Overshall the workshop was good. I have learnt many basics how to use bioinformatics tools in the research.
Punjabi University
The Vaccine design Course was overall good, teacher was supportive. Kept asking us if we had any doubts. Started on time and ended on time. However I don't think 2 hours and a skype chat is sufficient for a person to go into much detail about the subject. I suggest that next time, detailed notes and explanation of every step be given in advance as that would save much time instead of asking the same questions on skype.
Qatar University
This was a great opportunity to learn. The tools were very relevant. All instructions were very clear. The instructor was very polite and knowledgeable. Thank you for the opportunity to learn.
National public school
The workshop introduced me to a lot of open source software and databases related to bioinformatics. The molecular modeling and simulation was really great. The Staff took real care that everyone in the workshop understood everything and gave individual attention. Keep up your good work!

Tamil Nadu Dr.M.G.R. Medical University, Chennai, attended the program at Chennai
The course can be more informative and the software training can be given in more detail, since the training was given only to complete the present study, and the other modules and the other options in the software was less known. Hence the practical application may become a little difficult if we perform an individual study.

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.
Delhi Pharmaceutical Sciences and Research University
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.
University of Khartoum, Faculty of Pharmacy
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!!!
Savitribai Phule Pune University
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

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.
Lecturer, Dept of Biochemistry, University of Kerala
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.
CDFD
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.
SRM University, Haryana, Centre for Drug Design Discovery & Development (C-4D)
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.
CENTRE FOR DNA FINGERPRINTING AND DIAGNOSTICS
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.
International Islamic University Malaysia
Learning NGS was really useful and informative for me. It helped to enhance my understanding in NGS. Hope more workshops in future. Thank you!

Thanks for BioDiscovery Group for this course . I found this course powerful and the trainer is creative, very honest, smart, committed in time and have good knowledge. this course really solve my problem in NGS. Thanks for all
University of khartoum/ veterinary medicine/ tropical medicine research institute
I completed a two month training in computational aided drug designing. I got to learn protein optimization and energy minimization which can further aid me in my higher education. The staffs were very helpful and the concept they gave were all straight forward. I just have one request that instead of two months they should also conduct six months training which can be further beneficial. My overall training experience was very pleasant and I'm happy and satisfied with my training.
Birla Institute of Technology, Mesra
It is very helpful to me and it made me learn many things. thank you
Osmania University College of Technology
sincere and grantful thanks to biodiscovery research academy who made us to know some steps about the role of bioinformatics in the field of drug discovery and for guiding us throughout the training. But we are not fully satisfied with the training. Some modules which have been listed in website are not taught to us.peoples had not have an idea where the molecules and minimised pdb files are chosen. If this all been fulfilled for us we would like to gain more training and more knowledge about our bioinformatics in biodiscovery. Please check the feedback as important and try to console our feedback.
BHARATH UNIVERSITY
It was nice learning many things throughout the duration of the course. The teaching as well as assistance towards queries were attended properly. I have enjoyed learning things with your group. Hope there would be some training program which could deal with the binding site analysis etc to predict the active site of a protein. Thanks.
