FOUR-DAYS INTERNATIONAL ONLINE WORKSHOP ON MOLECULAR DYNAMICS STUDIES USING AMBER SOFTWARE
Under MOU — University of Kurdistan, Sanandaj, Iran
In Collaboration with Department of Pharmaceutical Chemistry, ISF College of Pharmacy
Organized under the Aegis of IQAC, ISFCP
DATE & TIME
8th, 10th, 12th & 15th November 2025
14:00 – 16:00 (India Standard Time)
12:00 – 14:00 (Tehran Time)
Venue: ISF College of Pharmacy, GT Road, Ghal-Kalan, Moga – Punjab, India
ABOUT THE WORKSHOP
This international workshop provides a focused, hands-on introduction to Molecular Dynamics (MD) simulations using the AMBER software package. Participants will learn how to build, execute, and analyze simulations of biomolecular systems—an essential skill for modern research in chemistry, biophysics, computational biology, and drug design.
Workshop Highlights
• Introduction to MD theory and AMBER environment
• System preparation for proteins and biomolecules
• Running MD simulations step-by-step
• Trajectory visualization, post-processing, and interpretation
WORKSHOP SCHEDULE
Session 1 — Theoretical Foundations & AMBER Installation (Nov 8)
Session 2 — Protein System Setup (Nov 10)
Session 3 — Running MD Simulations (Nov 12)
Session 4 — Trajectory Analysis & Interpretation (Nov 15)
WHO CAN PARTICIPATE
• Faculty members in Pharmaceutical & Life Sciences
• M.Pharm, Ph.D., and Research Scholars
• Scientists working in MD, Drug Design, or Computational Chemistry
PREREQUISITES
• Working knowledge of the Linux environment
• Basic understanding of computational chemistry
Note: This workshop does not cover Linux basics.
TECHNICAL REQUIREMENT
The workshop teaches the basis of MD simulations using AMBER, but running actual large-scale simulations requires access to a high-performance computing (HPC) cluster.
