What you'll learn

  • Perform gene expression analysis
  • Create a Protein-protein interaction map and calculate hub genes using Cytoscape
  • Screening of potential drug targets
  • ADMET analysis of drugs DruLito and OSIRIS
  • Perform molecular docking using Autodock Vina
  • Visualization of the docked complex using Biovia Discovery Studio
  • Enrichment analysis using EnrichR
  • Finding microRNAs associated with hub genes using miRNet
  • Manuscript preparation and using a bibliographic management tool (Zotero will be used)
  • Select a proper journal (Scopus indexed as well as PubMed indexed) for your first paper.
  • Uploading a paper to BioRxiv (getting DOI for your first paper)

    Learn to perform in silico gene expression analysis, identify hub genes in a protein interaction network, screen drugs with docking and ADMET, perform enrichment analysis, and prepare for publication.

Requirements

  • No prior knowledge of softwares for drug discovery is required as in this course no coding has been used
  • This course is meant for all the those who have love for life sciences and want to start their research career
  • This course is meant for all those who are interested in learning computer aided drug designing
  • This course is meant for those who are interested in learning molecular docking
  • This course is meant for those who are interested in bioinformatics
  • This course is meant for all those who are interested in learning bioinformatics (project based approach)

Description

A complete guide to the development of ideas for in-silico research to the publication of a paper - yes this is what you get

From idea development for research to writing and publishing a paper, yes that is what you get. Learn the basics of data analysis for gene expression analysis, molecular docking, visualization of the docked complex, enrichment analysis, microRNA identification production of publication-quality images, writing a research article properly, and using Zotero - a free reference management tool. In this course, you will be getting a proper idea of how can a set of genes can be used to design drugs and how using molecular docking techniques we can validate our results for the best drug. You will be getting a good idea of 'drug repurposing' also after the completion of the hands-on training session associated with this course. No prior knowledge or skills are required to attain this course and this course is deliberately kept straightforward for new learners.

In this course, you will get all the necessary skills required to write a research article on your own, guidelines for selecting a proper journal for your manuscript, and also you can extend these research ideas to wet-lab experiments as well.

ALL THE BEST:)
