A scientific gathering of researchers, computational scientists, medicinal chemists, structural biologists, AI/ML experts and drug discovery professionals shaping the future of computational drug discovery.

Connecting Science, Technology & Discovery

The MolSoft India User Group Meeting returns in 2026 for its third edition, bringing together the growing community of computational drug discovery researchers and professionals from across India.

The 3rd MolSoft India UGM is being presented as the Annual Conference on Computational Drug Discovery (ACCDD) — a platform dedicated to exploring how computational methods, molecular modelling, artificial intelligence, machine learning and chemical data are transforming modern drug discovery.

From structure-based drug design and molecular docking to ultra-large virtual screening, AI-driven molecular design, biologics, RNA targeting and medicinal chemistry applications, the conference will showcase how computational science is being translated into practical discovery workflows.

Through expert presentations, real-world case studies, technology updates and interactive discussions, ACCDD 2026 will provide an opportunity to learn from experienced researchers, exchange ideas with peers and discover new approaches to solving challenging problems in drug discovery.
