UGM & Conferences

The UGM & Conference is a 4-day event focusing on applications of computational chemistry, drug design and discovery in both the biologicals and small molecule fields, consisting of workshops, scientific presentations, posters, as well as opportunities to socialize during receptions and conference dinner. Anyone interested is welcome to attend. Space is limited so early registration is recommended.

WORKSHOPS

CCG Workshops

Chemical Computing Group is hosting the following hands-on Computer-Aided Drug Design workshops. The workshops are free to attend but pre-registration is required. Early registration is recommended as space is limited. Computers will be provided. No previous MOE software experience required.

PODCASTS

Description: In our first episode of 2025, our hosts, Chris Williams and Dave Thompson, have the pleasure of speaking to Fernando Garces, CEO and co-founder of BioGlyph. Leading us from the sunny climes of Portugal through the tropical paradise that is London, on route to the West Coast of the US and A, Fernando shares his evolving love of science through the heights of academia, into industry, and now as CEO of a software company he co-founded to improve the modeling of complex multispecifics. Important questions are unpacked throughout - is London really a tropical paradise? How long can we keep milking podcast episode titles that take advantage of the homophonic property of pharma and farm? Oh, and we have another surprising guest answer to the ‘Deschênes Dilemma’… It is not to quote G. K. Chesterton, a proper nailbiter!

Description: In our final episode of 2024, host Chris Williams and guest co-host, Under the Surface Executive Producer and CCG Vice President, Alain Deschênes have a long overdue chat with computational drug discovery rock star Rebecca Swett. Rebecca shares her journey from her academic beginnings to her current role at X-Chem, via roles at Novartis, Vertex, and Relay. Rebecca’s wide-ranging experience shines through as the conversation wends its way through cutting-edge computational chemistry covering machine learning, molecular dynamics, and DNA-encoded libraries. At the scale Rebecca works at, automation is key, so this topic comes up too. We’re not going to lie; it’s a lot. And, of course, there’s more … Rebecca highlights the significance of allyship and representation for women in science, and the role of community (with a shout-out to the long-running BAGIM modeling forum). Also, in the inaugural asking of the ‘Deschênes Dilemma,’ we find out what Rebecca would be doing if she wasn’t doing all of the above …
