INTRODUCTION

BDG LifeSciences' Research Project Training Program is a one-of-a-kind initiative designed to strengthen your profile and enhance career opportunities, whether for jobs or higher studies, by offering the chance to work on novel research projects using the latest technologies in bioinformatics. Since 2010, this program has addressed the critical need for high-quality publications by combining innovative teaching methods with practical applications. Conducted entirely online, it provides participants with the flexibility to choose session timings while saving on travel, accommodation, and food expenses. With over 88 research projects successfully completed and published at the international level, this program is ideal as a major or thesis project for final-year students or for those looking to advance their profiles.

Applications are now open for 5 SEATS in our 92 novel research project entitled "Mapping Druggable RNA Landscapes: An End-to-End Pipeline from Transcriptomics to Therapeutic Targeting". 

---

Introduction of the Project

RNA has emerged as a powerful therapeutic target, offering new opportunities in drug discovery beyond traditional protein-centric approaches. This project, Mapping Druggable RNA Landscapes: An End-to-End Pipeline from Transcriptomics to Therapeutic Targeting, introduces participants to a complete computational workflow that transforms transcriptomics data into RNA sequences, predicts RNA structures, and evaluates their druggability. By bridging bioinformatics, structural biology, and molecular docking, this program provides a strong foundation for exploring RNA-targeted therapies.

---

Objective of the Project

The objective of this project is to equip participants with the skills and knowledge required to:

• Process transcriptomics data to identify relevant RNA sequences.
• Predict secondary and tertiary structures of RNA molecules.
• Assess RNA molecules for their druggability using computational approaches.
• Apply open-source tools to design and test small molecules targeting RNA.

---

Methodology

The program follows a structured, step-by-step approach over four months:

1. Transcriptomics to RNA Sequences – Retrieval of RNA sequences from NCBI/Ensembl.
2. RNA Structure Prediction – Modeling secondary and 3D RNA structures using ViennaRNA and RNAComposer.
3. RNA–Drug Targetability – Docking small molecules to RNA using AutoDock Vina.
4. Mini-Project – Application of the complete workflow to real-world case studies in RNA therapeutics.

All sessions combine theory + hands-on practice (6 hours/month) using free and open-source computational tools.
