About this course
The Six Month: ADMET Prediction Research Oriented CADD Course at Dr. Omics Edu is a 6-month live, mentor-led online course in computer-aided drug design (CADD). Seven modules go deep on ADMET prediction, the stage where many drug candidates succeed or fail. You learn on real biological data and finish with a drug design analysis on a real target that you can show to an employer, a guide or an admissions panel.
In this course you move through drug discovery and admet fundamentals, absorption and distribution prediction and metabolism and excretion prediction, then apply them in a hands-on project. The course runs live online across 7 modules, so you can ask your mentor questions as you work. It is an advanced-level course, best suited to learners who already know the fundamentals.
What you will learn
• Drug discovery and ADMET fundamentals
• Absorption and distribution prediction
• Metabolism and excretion prediction
• Integrating ADMET with docking and screening
• Research project and reporting
CADD scientist, computational chemist, drug discovery research associate, and a strong profile for pharma R&D or higher studies.
