Molecular and periodic quantum mechanics, all- atom molecular dynamics, and coarse-grained approaches for studying active pharmaceutical ingredients and their formulations
Computational molecular modeling tools have proven effective in materials science research and development. Chemists, physicists and engineers working in materials science will increasingly encounter molecular modeling throughout their careers, making it critical to have a foundational understanding of the cutting edge tools and methods. These courses are ideal for those who wish to develop professionally and expand their CV by earning certification and a badge.
These computational chemistry courses offer an effective and efficient approach to learn practical computational chemistry for materials science:

Schrödinger is committed to supporting students with limited resources. Schrödinger’s mission is to improve human health and quality of life by transforming the way therapeutics and materials are discovered. Schrödinger proudly supports the next generation of scientists. We have created a scholarship program that is open to full-time students or post-docs to students who can demonstrate financial need, and have a statement of support from the academic advisor. Please complete the application form if you qualify for our scholarship program!
While access to the software will end when the course closes, some of the material within the course (slides, papers, and tutorials) are available for download so that you can refer back to it after the course. Other materials, such as videos, quizzes, and access to the software, will only be available for the duration of the course.
For the duration of the course, you will have access to a web-based version of Maestro, Bioluminate, Materials Science Maestro and/or LiveDesign (depending on the course). You do not have to separately purchase access to any software. While access to the software will end when the course closes, some of the material within the course (slides, papers, and tutorials) are available for download so that you can refer back to it after the course. Other materials, such as videos, quizzes, and access to the software, will only be available for the duration of the course. Please note that Schrödinger software is only to be used for course-related purposes.
