Description about the Workshop

This workshop aims to provide in-depth knowledge and practical examples for applying machine learning techniques in biological/biomedical research on two aspects: (i) a classification problem, discriminating disease and neutral mutations in proteins and (ii) a real value prediction, predicting the inhibitory concentration of compounds for a drug target. A systematic approach for developing an efficient computational tool will be explained in detail with assessment procedures and extensive tutorials. The projects designed in this workshop will help to follow the protocol independently and achieve the goal. The participants of the workshop will be capable of developing reliable bioinformatics tools upon successful completion of the program.

Mode of workshop: Online

Session dates: 7th & 8th September, 2024 

Time: 10:00 a.m. – 01:00 p.m. & 02:00 p.m. – 04:00 p.m. (same for both the days)

Last date of Registration: 5th September, 2024
