NEW YORK, NY – Schrödinger, Inc. and China’s Tsinghua University’s School of Pharmaceutical Sciences have reached an agreement to establish a Center of Excellence (COE) in Structure-Based Drug Discovery at Tsinghua University. Under the terms of the agreement, Schrödinger will provide its computational chemistry software to the COE, and work with the faculty at Tsinghua University to create a curriculum for researchers at the University and throughout China on using Schrödinger’s software solutions in drug discovery.

“We’re honored to be chosen as the technology platform by Tsinghua University, a world renowned and distinguished institution,” said Schrödinger’s president, Dr. Ramy Farid. “Our platform has demonstrated successes in drug discovery programs, and we are excited to share our technology with our partners and researchers in China.”

The COE will focus on developing the knowledge and expertise of Tsinghua researchers by providing training in the underlying theories of computational che
