Description

This seminar trains the students to deliver excellent lectures.

First, please find a paper which uses some kind of computational approach to develop drugs. You may find a paper in Pubmed using the keywords "computational" and "drug". One month before the lecture, please contact the instructor for approval of the paper.

Second, prepare your presentation according to the standard scientific format:
Title (10 points)
Overview
Introduction (10 points)
Objectives (10 points)
Methods (10 points)
Results and Discussion (10 points)
Conclusions (10 points)
Acknowledgement to the paper authors (10 points)

Please number your slides (5 points). Please do not exceed 20 slides (5 points). Please ensure slides are readable from the back of the room (5 points). Please start and finish on time (5 points). Do not miss more than 2 meetings - without cause (10 points). Extra points may be earned for neat slides, short movie, animated figure, or 3D vision (i.e. with green and red glasses).

Third, below is the schedule of the semester. You are welcome to interchange slots. Each lecture is 20 minutes, followed by 5 minutes of questions.

The course meets on Sunday at 13:00-14:00 in room 202 of the Faculty of Medicine.
