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.

**Rating on scale from 1-5** a. How did the course meet your learning objectives?- 3. b. How well was the course organized (program, registration, schedule...)?- 3. c. How do you evaluate your overall experience of training during the program? Valuable. d. Will you recommend this program to others?- 5. e. Overall rating- Okay. Comments or Suggestions regarding the course design and the methodology employed in the Program- "Course is designed such that like read and write. I expected still in a way that i could practically apply."

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 training was good.. Thanks to "The CEO - Biodiscovery" and team.

I feel happy to write about BioDiscovery Research team. I completed a six month project which has been very useful for my Research work. Thank you Biodiscovery

The learning experience was good. I am doing my M. Pharmacy,so,it will be helpful to me in future. Before learning this study I didn't have idea much about molecular modelling and drug designing but now I have a good idea about this technology. Methodology was also good. Thanks to BioDiscovery Group, India research unit.

It was an amazing and wealthy course that give me the opportunity to get more information about the bioinformatics, Drug discovery, proteomics and molecular biology information that could help me in further studies. Special thanks for Dr. Asif Naqvi for his endless support and i'm looking forward for having an opportunity to work one day with him.

I'm basically a toxicologist.i am been involved in only wet lab experiment, this workshop is my first kind in computer association. I really enjoyed participating the workshop, I know little about, drug designing and molecular docking, maybe theory basis, but the workshop started from the basis, gave me the insight of drug designing, gave enough time to do the assigned task. Though I was little slow in the beginning, but urge to learn and know more, kept me in the phase, and finally able to complete the task in stipulated time, I am a faculty, competing with other participants especially students the younger generation was really appealing. Definitely I have learned a lot about drug designing and molecular docking, I was not knowing about the software to perform ADMET, now got to know it. To participate workshop in the workshop was a good experience. My many thanks to the BioDiscovery Group for giving a opportunity. wish you success in all ur endeavour, Thank you With Regards Dr. C.Thangam

I had a good experience. I have learnt so many new things, softwares. Thank you BioDiscovery Group- CEO and team. Great work.

I recently participated in the 5 day workshop on practical approaches to CADD and ADMET property prediction from Feb 29th to March 4th at Institute of Lifesciences Bangalore university conducted by BioDiscovery Group, India. The workshop was very interesting, challenging, novel and highly useful. It definitely left a spark in my mind to pursue my career in drug discovery, learn more and implement for the growth of my career and betterment of our Nation. Thanks a lot to Asif sir..Founder and CEO of BioDiscovery Group, India.

This training course was very useful for me but I think the only problem was this training course need more more time (4 to 5 days). Best wishes

Firstly I want to thank all of the team for this the helpful and well organized workshop, but i have 2 comments only on it: 1- The time of the workshop was too small in comparing with the content of it. 2- I wanted to have more details about the programmes, I needed to understand how and why I selected those parameters and commands I used in the softwares used. many thanks again for this successful workshop and i hope to attend more and more workshops for you, best regards, Mai Ibrahim.

I am very happy and satisfied by this workshop. Full hands on training performed very well. Very friendly teachers, volunteers. Thank you very much...

It was a great experience for a beginner like me. And surely help in my coming future. Looking up to more of such workshops.

Training was really very nice which is actually important in our academics. Many software are new which are never handle any where. So overall it was awesome. Thanx for support..

This was seriously a very good training program for students who are doing M. Sc especially because I had seen the use of it with my personal experience so I request you people to do it more often and please try to give more information. Thanks for your training program.

The program is well arranged and it is very useful in research purpose.

The workshop was great. Learned a lot and gained very crucial skill. It was totally worth attending.

I was very happy with the entire workshop. It was very informative and practical. Since I had to work on it myself, I could understand what to do and any problems could be tackled through team work and help from the coordinate. Thank you for a very informative experience.

VERY GOOD AND LEARNT A LOT...

The workshop was great, I have got much information about Molecular dynamics and simulations. The workshop would be better for 3 days
