São Paulo School of Advanced Sciences on Neglected Diseases Drug Discovery – focus on Kinetoplastids

A SPSAS-ND3 foi realizada de 14 a 24 de junho de 2015 no campus do Centro Nacional de Pesquisa em Energia e Materiais (CNPEM), em Campinas (SP).

A Escola, organizada pelo Laboratório Nacional de Biociências (LNBio) e financiada pela FAPESP, contemplou aspectos multidisciplinares do processo de descoberta de fármacos aplicados à doença de Chagas, leishmaniose e à tripanossomíase africana humana.

A SPSAS-ND3 abordou desde conceitos básicos da ciência de descoberta de fármacos até as investigações de ponta desenvolvidas nesta área.

Dentre os grandes temas da programação, destacam-se: high throughput screening (HTS) e high content screening (HCS); biologia estrutural e screening virtual; análises de dados de triagens; química medicinal; otimização de leads; absorção, distribuição, metabolismo e excreção (ADME) in vitro e in vivo; e modelos animais para estudos de farmacocinética e estudos de eficácia.
