Network analysis of Protein- Protein Interaction Data
Unlocking the Complexities of Protein Networks for Advanced Bioscience Research
About This Course
Protein-Protein Interaction Networks (PPIN) are crucial for understanding the functional organization and behavior of proteins in biological systems. These networks provide insights into cellular mechanisms, signaling pathways, and disease biology, offering a framework for hypothesis generation and experimental design.
In this 3-day workshop, participants will explore PPIN’s theoretical and practical aspects, from basic properties to advanced analytical techniques. Using tools like Cytoscape and PINA server, attendees will learn to represent, analyze, and interpret PPIN data. Real-world applications in health, medicine, and drug discovery will be highlighted, emphasizing the growing relevance of PPIN studies in addressing critical biological questions.
Aim
This workshop aims to introduce participants to the fundamentals of Protein-Protein Interaction Networks (PPIN) and their importance in understanding biological systems. Attendees will gain hands-on experience in network representation, topological analysis, and advanced tools to explore the dynamic properties of PPIN in health and medicine.
