What is this course about?

Food science is becoming increasingly molecular and data-driven, making bioinformatics essential for understanding links between diet and health. This course offers a hands-on introduction to structural bioinformatics and molecular modeling in an international, collaborative framework.

Objectives

• To introduce applied structural bioinformatics fundamentals
• Apply molecular modeling to food biomolecules
• To develop digital and analytical skills
• To foster international collaboration

Main topics

• Structural Bioinformatics basics
• Physical-chemistry basis behind molecular structure and interactions
• Structural Databases (PDB, UniProt)
• Biomolecular visualization
• Chemoinformatics: ligand-base protein-ligand interaction
• Molecular modeling: protein structure prediction, protein-ligand-docking 

Organizers

• Dr. Carolina Estarellas, Departament of Nutrition, Food Sciences and Gastronomy, Faculty of Pharmacy and Food Sciences, University of Barcelona (Spain)
• Dr. Luca Dellafiora, Department of Food and Drug, Uiversità Degli Studi Di Parma (Italy)
• Dr. Ari Zeida, Programa en Alimentos y Salud Humana (PAyS), Centro de Investigaciones Biomédicas (CEINBIO), Departamento de Bioquímica, Facultad de Medicina, Universidad de la República (Uruguay)
