Instruct PartnerEarlier this year, Instruct Spain (I2PC, Madrid) launched a new Structure-Based Virtual Drug Screening service, now officially available through the Instruct-ERIC platform.
Accessible both remotely and on-site, this Scipion-Chem pipeline allows you to use 3D atomic structures (Cryo-EM, X-ray, NMR) to:
1. Find Druggable Pockets: Automatically detect and analyze potential binding sites.
2. Predict Drug Binding: Run docking campaigns using your molecules libraries or our different curated datasets of compounds.
To help you integrate this new infrastructure into your research, we are hosting a Practical Course on Virtual Drug Screening (VDS) designed for researchers at any stage of their career who are interested in incorporating VDS and Drug Discovery into their research.
When: November 10 -12, 2026
Where: National Center for Biotechnology CNB-CSIC, Madrid (In-person)
Key Topics: The course will focus on covering screening pipelines, ligand filtering, lead optimization, and Molecular Dynamics using programs such as AutoDock, P2Rank, and OpenMM.
Registration will be open until October 16, 2026 at 12:00PM. You can fill your registration here.
