The College of Science Club, in cooperation with the Deanship of Student Affairs, organized a scientific training workshop on Wednesday morning, 22/3/1445 AH, entitled "Drug Design and Discovery Using Computational Chemistry" in Lecture Hall B141-032 at the College of Science building in Al-Faraa. The course was presented by His Excellency Dr. Saleh Al-Arfaji, Associate Professor in the Department of Chemistry. The role of computational chemistry and modern technologies in developing the pharmaceutical industry, designing and exploring them was reviewed. The training course was attended by a number of faculty members from various departments of the college, a large number of undergraduate and graduate students, and a number of interested visitors from outside the university, with the number of attendees reaching approximately 50 beneficiaries.
