Ever wondered how scientists can take an old drug—originally made for one illness—and turn it into a powerful treatment for something entirely different? Or how vaccines can now be designed entirely on a computer, without ever mixing a single chemical in the lab?
In this power-packed live session, we’ll explore the cutting-edge world of drug repurposing and in silico (computer-based) vaccine design—two revolutionary approaches that are reshaping modern medicine.
You’ll discover how researchers use advanced tools like molecular docking, target prediction, and epitope mapping to identify promising treatments and design vaccines faster, smarter, and more precisely than ever before.
Whether you’re a student, a budding researcher, or simply a curious mind with a love for science and innovation, this webinar offers a behind-the-scenes look at how bioinformatics is transforming the way we fight disease—and paving the way for the future of healthcare.
Key Topics Include:
Introduction to immune system basics, traditional vs. modern vaccines, and the role of computational biology in vaccinology.
Understanding immunoinformatics, its applications in vaccine development, and the reverse vaccinology approach.
Retrieving pathogen genomes (NCBI, Ensembl), annotating them, and identifying potential antigens like surface or secreted proteins.
Predicting B-cell epitopes using tools like ABCPred and BepiPred, T-cell epitopes with NetMHCpan and IEDB, and analyzing epitope conservancy and population coverage.
Designing multi-epitope vaccines by linking predicted epitopes with linkers, adding adjuvants like β-defensin or TLR agonists.
Predicting 3D structure of vaccine constructs using I-TASSER or AlphaFold, followed by refinement and validation with tools like Ramachandran plot and PROCHECK.
Docking vaccine constructs with TLR receptors using PatchDock, ClusPro, or AutoDock and analyzing binding energy and interaction residues.
Running molecular dynamics simulations using GROMACS or AMBER and interpreting parameters like RMSD and RMSF for vaccine stability.
Performing codon optimization for E. coli expression using JCat or GenScript and simulating cloning into plasmid vectors with SnapGene or Benchling.
Hands-on session with live tool demonstrations, walkthrough of vaccine design for a pathogen like SARS-CoV-2 or Dengue, and group-based vaccine evaluation project.
