ACS NMCS 2026 Atlanta: BioSolveIT Workshop

Welcome to the BioSolveIT workshop page!

This year, BioSolveIT is excited to contribute to the ACS National Medicinal Chemistry Symposium (NMCS) with an engaging hands-on learning session titled "Medicinal Chemistry in Motion: Introduction to Rational Compound Design", presented by Dr. Kortney Melancon.

Structure-based drug design has become an integral part of rational drug development. In this workshop, you will gain computational insights into potential binding modes, which are indispensable for the targeted decoration and modification of ligand scaffolds. We will employ state-of-the-art methods designed to help medicinal and computational chemists efficiently combine their expertise and identify the most promising molecules for follow-up.

Beginners and experts alike are invited to independently explore their own design ideas using BioSolveIT's drug design dashboard, SeeSAR. In our hands-on session, we will focus on binding prediction, fragment-based growing strategies, options for scaffold exploration, and other highly relevant topics.


We look forward to seeing you there and exploring the latest in rational compound design together!
