Program :
This module aims to enable students to understand the functioning and networks of research in ISDD, whether at the academic level or in companies (start-ups and large pharmaceutical companies).
Meetings will allow students to exchange and discuss with people from the private and academic sectors, who are confronted with current research problems in drug design. These seminars will include presentations from recognized laboratories in drug design, structural bioinformatics and chemoinformatics, both national and international, and depending on the year, presentations from platforms (RPBS, Orphanet), PhD students and former students of the Master's program, participation in a conference in the field, and company visits.
