## Schrödinger Launches Japanese Version of "Teaching with Schrödinger (TwS)" Program to Support Next-Generation Scientist Development
Schrödinger, Inc. (Headquarters: New York, USA), which is transforming drug discovery and materials development through its physics-based software platform, has officially launched the Japanese version of "Teaching with Schrödinger (TwS)" for educational institutions.
Japanese TwS site: https://www.schrodinger.com/schrodinger-kk/teaching-with-schrodinger/
This program is a comprehensive curriculum initiative designed to support interactive learning using cutting-edge computational chemistry tools in educational courses from high school through university and graduate school.
■ Background of Development
In the forefront of modern drug discovery and materials science, computer-based simulation has become indispensable. However, educational settings have faced challenges such as a lack of computational resources to smoothly integrate these advanced tools into classrooms and the time required for educators to create teaching materials.
Schrödinger has collaborated with educators worldwide to bridge this gap and create easily implementable solutions. Our "TwS Program" uses the same industry-standard software utilized in actual research and development, providing an environment where students can learn practically about intermolecular interactions, drug design, and materials research.
■ Main Features of the Program
・Provision of Practical Curriculum
Provides teaching materials (lessons, tutorials, and assignments) that are ready to use in classrooms, covering diverse fields such as organic chemistry, bioinformatics, and pharmaceutical sciences.
・Utilization of Industry-Standard Software
Students can experience molecular-level visualization and simulation using Schrödinger's calculation platform, which boasts a world-class market share in professional research environments. Notably, no special dedicated hardware or local IT support is required; students can access this platform provided they have a high-speed internet connection.
・Community and Training for Educators
Offers training for educators implementing the program and provides a network to share knowledge among educators who have already introduced digital tools (such as Educator’s Week participants).
■ Executive Comment
Hide-nori Seshimo (Vice President and Head of Sales and Marketing, Japan, Schrödinger K.K.)
"For students who will lead the scientific community of the next generation, experiencing and learning through advanced computational tools that support modern research via the latest curriculum is crucial. In this program, we are opening our platform to academia, leveraging our 30+ years of leading the simulation field and accumulating numerous practical experiences and success stories. We sincerely hope that Japanese students will grasp the forefront of simulation in digital drug discovery and materials research, and acquire practical skills directly linked to innovative research and career success."
