Your Voice, Our Progress!

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.

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.

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 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.

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.

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.

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.

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.

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

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.

It is very helpful to me and it made me learn many things. thank you

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.

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.

The workshop was informative. Most significantly the practical sessions were good, which provided the first hand difficulties in handling the softwares. The last part, i.e. use of Chimera and prediction of ADMET properties, would have been taken more efficiently. Overall it introduced the concepts of drug designing and docking in a significant way.

During the 5 day workshop on Drug Discovery and Designing I've learned new techniques which I believe to be very useful for my research project. The content was well organized and easy to follow. The trainer was knowledgeable and quite helpful. overall I'm satisfied with this workshop and it met my expectations.

It was a really a nice experience to be with the BioDiscovery Group. I am pursuing M.Pharma in Pharmaceutical biotechnology and by attending this workshop I got a direction for my upcoming career. I got to know that I cannot restrict myself in this field only. THANKU so much !!

This workshop really help me alot to understand more about molecular docking, how to intepret my result on my ligand toward the protease. The speaker really understand all the question we ask and answer it well.thank you

I am new in this field. The course is important in understanding in bio discovery and designing. The handout given to us is really useful, since its organized well and easy to follow

The workshop has given me a good understanding for screening of compounds for drug from scratch. Although I came with close to zero knowledge on drugs and docking and minimal chemistry, I had managed to keep up, thanks to good guidance and a clear work flow. My learning interest is in protein engineering - this workshop goes some way in providing the basics.

This workshop (lecture, module, hands on session & test) meet my expectation to understand the basic of in silico drug design. Thanks.

The program conducted by BioDiscovery Group on Drug Discovery was really good and topic have been taught very well and I have understood as well. It has given me new direction to my project work and i have plan in future that i'll surely take training in one of their projects which will be suitable for me. Thank you so much for the guidance and knowledge provided by your organization.

The workshop was organized and the trainer was very knowledgeable. This practical workshop helped me to clarify my doubts and got valuable knowledge about drug discovery and designing.Thank you

Awesome Workshop!!thank you for the knowledge that given..

Workshop is good but can be shortened to 3 days.

I had a good experience during the workshop. The idea of letting the participants explore the software on their own was good. It let us do rights and wrongs and then correct the wrongs to improve. I was new to this concept but after this workshop, I know that I could work on this. Thanks.

The 2 day workshop on Drug Discovery & Designing at AIIMS was well organized, it was a good experience to learn the drug designing individually.

It was a great learning experience attending this course. I got to learn more intricacies of drug discovery and designing. But please try to cover more topics in the course to make it worth its money

The learning experience is quite good but please next time kindly provide internet, charging points, and yes lunch..!!! Overall experience is average not good, need to improve more..!!!
