About the DTC Laboratory

The DTC Laboratory has been instrumental in developing several QSAR and Cheminformatics tools over the years and these tools are available free of charge for academic use from .http://teqip.jdvu.ac.in/QSAR_Tools/ and https://sites.google.com/jadavpuruniversity.in/dtc-lab-software/home/ . There are many users all over the World for these tools who freely access these tools for their research and publications. Inspired by the wide usage, and after the success of the first Online Workshop (December 16, 2023),we are organizing this Second Workshop.
