An online self-sponsored workshop is designed to provide the theoretical background as well as a hands-on approach to drug designing using network pharmacology approach. The one-drug/one-target/one-disease approach to drug discovery is presently facing many challenges of safety, efficacy, and sustainability.

Center for Cognitive Computing, IIIT Allahabad welcomes you to 13th International Conference on Intelligent Human Computer Interaction (IHCI 2021). This year it is being organized at Kent State University, USA from 20-22 Dec, 2021 in online as well as offline mode. The IHCI is an annual international conference in the Human Computer Interaction field, where we explore research challenges emerging in the complex interaction between machine intelligence and human intelligence. This is the thirteen event that has a theme on “ Intelligent Interaction Beyond Physical Limits ”, having special tracks related to the main theme of the conference.

Computational drug designing is an inter-disciplinary area. In recent years the in-silico drug designing has emerged as a prominent field of research and has advanced rapidly with collaboration among the fields of chemistry, biology, and computer sciences. IIIT Allahabad has been working on drug designing and discovery for the last few years and is recognized internationally for published research. This course is designed for teachers, scientists, industry professionals, and students from the science & engineering educational institutes and industries. This workshop aims to impart essential knowledge of computational drug design & discovery to the participants.

2-day cloud-based hands-on workshop targeting structure-based drug designing and MD simulations. Participants will get practical experience and in-person guidance in using the Maestro GUI, covering the organic molecule sketching, protein selection, preparation, and screening for hit identification of molecules against therapeutic targets. The workshop will also include a brief recap of background theory for Molecular mechanics, CADD, Structure-based drug design approaches via case studies on the real-time industrial projects.

An online self-sponsored short term certificate course on “Nanoinformatics for Biomedical Applications (NBA- 2021)” is going to be organized by the Indian Institute of Information Technology Allahabad (IIIT-Allahabad) from 27-29th August, 2021. NBA-2021 aims to bring eminent experts from the field of Nanotechnology in order to showcase the recent progress and innovation in the allied areas of Nanotechnology involving the development of novel therapeutic agents and diagnostic methods. Nanotechnology flourishes greatly due to its association with the Information technology. The combination of Material sciences and Information technology provides a great opportunity to explore how quantum-effect varies with size and structural features of nanomaterials that are responsible for unique optical, chemical, and biological properties of nanomaterials. This also helps in understanding the interactions of nanomaterial with complex living systems and role of dimensionality in cellular responses. Thus, an insightful understanding of basic principles of Material sciences with help of Information technology provides huge scope for nanotechnology based drug designing and therapeutic strategies essential for the betterment of human healthcare. The lectures and hands-on-trainings in NBA-2021 will cover basic features of Nanoinformatics and its applications in numerous biomedical fields.

Medical imaging is a multi-disciplinary research field. We have observed tremendous progress in medical imaging as technology continues to advance at a rapid rate. This has even got huge momentum due to crosstalk among various research fields like biotechnology, nanotechnology, biomedical, electronics, instrumentation, computer science and information technology making biomedical imaging as one of the most happening research fields. New research outcomes are emerging out every day from international and national laboratories which may offer better preventative solutions. There are several research groups in India who are very active in this field- solving many brainstorming problems as well as addressing various socially relevant clinical issues. The aim of this workshop is to bring young researchers from various institutes under a common platform where they will be able to present their work as well as get an opportunity to listen to the senior delegates of this field. They will also become aware of current research activities pursuing by leading groups and challenges in this field.

Indian Institute of Information Technology Allahabad (IIITA) located in Jhalwa, Allahabad, UP, India was established in 1999, as a center of excellence in Information Technology and allied areas and is an institute of national importance by the act of parliament
