What’s the difference between QSAR and imputation predictive models – which method should I use and when?
We’re often asked, “What’s the difference between QSAR and imputation models?”, so I’m going to explain how the methods differ, their advantages and disadvantages, and when each approach is applicable.

Perfecting the use of imperfect QSAR models
In this webinar, we examine the effective use of QSAR modelling in drug discovery and discuss a variety of pain points for medicinal chemists in knowing when a model can be trusted and how to avoid common pitfalls.
Automatic generation of new compound ideas
During this example we will consider three compounds from a lead series which we would like to try to evolve into a candidate. The compound has a good profile of ADME properties but insufficient inhibition of the target, the Serotonin transporter. In this example we will use StarDrop’s Nova module to generate new ideas for compounds to improve the potency while maintaining the balance of other properties.
