IIT Bombay’s new smart platform to help researchers decode brain diseases

A team of bioengineers at the Indian Institute of Technology (IIT) Bombay has developed new smart platforms –BrainProt and DrugProtAI — that unify data on scattered brain diseases to help researchers find markers, explore treatments, and pinpoint druggable targets.

BrainProt v3.0 is a database that combines various types of biological data — from genes to proteins — into a single platform to enable systematic insights into human brain function in both healthy and diseased states.
