Five-Day Workshop on Spectroscopy & AI Methods to Study Protein Aggregates and Diseases 2026 - NIT Tiruchirappalli

This workshop is designed to equip participants with skills to study protein structure, interactions and dynamics, with special focus on protein aggregation and associated neurodegenerative diseases, using spectroscopic, microscopic and AI-based methods. Highlights - Lectures by national and international experts on protein structures, interactions and dynamics, with relevance to protein aggregation and neurodegenerative diseases. - Hands-on sessions on protein structure visualization, structure analysis, modelling, molecular docking and simulation for studying protein-drug interactions. - Hands-on sessions on spectroscopic techniques: UV-Vis absorption, steady-state fluorescence, fluorescence lifetime measurement, FTIR and dynamic light scattering. - An introduction to how machine learning and deep learning-based AI methods support early disease detection. Topics - Fundamentals of protein structures, visualization and structure analysis - Protein interactions and dynamics, and misfolding leading to aggregation and disease - Experimental and simulation studies of protein aggregation - Fluorescence imaging for detecting Alzheimer's disease - Machine learning and deep learning-based methods for disease detection Theme: Proteins and Diseases Dates: 12-18 November 2026 Venue: NIT Tiruchirappalli, Tanjore Main Road, NH 67, Tiruchirappalli - 620015, Tamil Nadu Organizing departments: AIDS, Chemical Engineering Registration fees - UG / PG / PhD / Postdocs: Rs. 1500 - Faculty: Rs. 2500 - Industry personnel: Rs. 4000 Certificates provided for all participants.
