Abstract:
This Schrödinger workshop will demonstrate how physics-based computational modeling (BioLuminate, FEP+) and collaborative enterprise informatics (LiveDesign) work together to accelerate modern biologics design.
Participants will be introduced to an end-to-end workflow covering early structural assessment, liability and developability analysis, and structure-guided engineering using advanced free-energy methods. The session will also show how in silico predictions can be combined with experimental data in LiveDesign to support iterative design cycles, hypothesis generation, and variant prioritization. Designed to be valuable for both new and experienced users, the workshop highlights how integrated modeling and informatics tools enable faster, more informed biologics discovery and optimization.
