ALLODD member Martijn Bemelmans (ESR13) participated in the Student Summer Workshop – Onco Beerse, held at Janssen Pharmaceutica NV, Beerse, Belgium, on August 11, 2022. Organized for upper secondary school students, this workshop provided an interactive learning experience focused on the role of computational methods in drug discovery.

​Martijn led a session demonstrating how Molecular Docking and Virtual Screening can be used to identify allosteric modulators and impact signaling pathways relevant to diseases such as cancer. Through hands-on activities and discussions, students were introduced to computer-aided drug design, sparking interest in the intersection of computational science and medicine.
