The D3R2 Laboratory invites you to the first session of the In Silico Simulation Training Series, focusing on Molecular Docking and Visualisation.

This introductory training will cover the basic concepts and workflows of in silico molecular docking and visualisation. Participants will be guided through the step-by-step process of docking and visualisation, learning how to perform and interpret in silico simulations that model molecular interactions relevant to drug discovery.

📅 Date: November 7, 2025 (3:00 PM - 6:00 PM)
📍 Venue: 4th Floor Conference Room, PRISM Building, MSU-IIT
💻 Participants are required to bring their own laptops.
🔸 Registration is limited to 10 non-D3R2 lab members.

This session marks the start of a continuing training series on in silico simulation methods, designed to enhance computational research skills for students and researchers working in the field of drug discovery.

The D3R2 Family extends our warmest congratulations to our newly registered Chemists and Chemical Technicians — proud alumnae of our lab! 🎉 We’re so proud of you and all that you’ve accomplished!

A warm congratulations to our MS student, 𝐂𝐥𝐚𝐮𝐝𝐞 𝐂𝐡𝐚𝐫𝐥𝐞𝐬 𝐊𝐢𝐞𝐫𝐮𝐥𝐟, for a successful proposal defense held on October 9, 2025!

With his proposed study titled “𝐓𝐫𝐲𝐩𝐭𝐚𝐧𝐭𝐡𝐫𝐢𝐧 𝐃𝐞𝐫𝐢𝐯𝐚𝐭𝐢𝐯𝐞𝐬 𝐚𝐬 𝐌𝐨𝐝𝐮𝐥𝐚𝐭𝐨𝐫𝐬 𝐨𝐟 𝐭𝐡𝐞 𝐈𝐧𝐬𝐮𝐥𝐢𝐧 𝐒𝐢𝐠𝐧𝐚𝐥𝐢𝐧𝐠 𝐂𝐚𝐬𝐜𝐚𝐝𝐞: 𝑰𝒏 𝑺𝒊𝒍𝒊𝒄𝒐 𝐈𝐧𝐯𝐞𝐬𝐭𝐢𝐠𝐚𝐭𝐢𝐨𝐧, 𝐒𝐲𝐧𝐭𝐡𝐞𝐬𝐢𝐬, 𝐚𝐧𝐝 𝑰𝒏 𝑽𝒊𝒕𝒓𝒐 𝐄𝐯𝐚𝐥𝐮𝐚𝐭𝐢𝐨𝐧.”

Your long nights of article hunting and manuscript editing have finally borne fruit. The D3R2 Laboratory now welcomes you to the wet lab — time to trade the keyboard for a pipette and let the real chemistry begin!

We’re wrapping up 2024 like we wrap up our reactions—carefully, with just a hint of chaos. This year has been a wild mix of breakthroughs, failed syntheses (we don’t talk about those), and just enough coffee to keep us going.

Here’s to 2025—may it bring smoother reactions, better yields, and fewer 'what just happened?!' moments in the lab. 🍾🥂

Wishing you all a holiday season as joyful as nailing that final purification step.. Cheers to another year of science and shenanigans! 🧪🌟
