  • Deep learning in biology

    22 - 23 November 2021

    Elixir node event
    Deep learning in biology https://tess.elixir-europe.org/events/deep-learning-in-biology Large amounts of data and compute resources have enabled the development of high-performance machine learning models. This is particularly due to deep learning techniques. By looking at many data samples, these models can find structure in the data that is useful for predictive and explorative analysis: e.g. classification, clustering, data generation, dimensionality reduction, etc. The most popular applications within biotechnology are concerned with image segmentation, diagnostics, sequence analysis, etc. However, deep learning models are far from straightforward to implement correctly due to the many different hyperparameter settings, optimization procedures, architecture choices, etc. In this course, we will make use of Jupyter Notebook and PyTorch, which are both based on Python, to apply deep learning techniques on both bio informatics and bio image informatics data. We aim to work towards applications that participants would like to study. 2021-11-22 09:00:00 UTC 2021-11-23 00:00:00 UTC VIB Bioinformatics Core [] [] [] [] [] []

  • Recombinant Protein Expression

    22 November 2021

    Elixir node event
    Recombinant Protein Expression https://tess.elixir-europe.org/events/recombinant-protein-expression The training will start with an introduction on the available recombinant protein expression systems, with their advantages and limitations, from which to choose for your favorite protein. Also, high-throughput protein expression, expression in plant cells, antibody and nanobody expression and a difficult-to-express protein case will be discussed. A next session will focus on strategy design to optimize protein purification and how to address quality assurance of the purified proteins. For clinical use of a protein-based biological stability and production yields are critical issues that come on top of the desired therapeutic efficacy. Why and how to deal with these critical aspects will be addressed as well during the training. Furthermore, also the key steps that are required for optimal protein formulation will be reviewed. We plan to end the day with a keynote talk from a pharma industry speaker illustrating the issues that need to be considered when engineering recombinant proteins for clinical applications. 2021-11-22 09:00:00 UTC 2021-11-22 00:00:00 UTC VIB Bioinformatics Core [] [] [] [] [] []
