BrainProt: a novel omics-based knowledge-base
https://brainprot.org/

We are excited to release BrainProt Version 3.0. This is a novel omics-based knowledgebase with 6 domains aimed to accelerate neuroscience research globally. The knowledgebase aims to provide an easy and robust framework to access and visualize omics data of the Human Brain and its associated diseases/disorders.

This is one of the first knowledgebases that integrates popular disease-gene-association databases to curate and identify markers of more than 50 human brain diseases, along with protein/gene level expression of deadly brain tumors and neurodegenerative disorders. BrainProt also allows users to access the clinical trial information of drugs associated with dreadful brain diseases and provides identification of potential therapeutic compounds.

The objectives of BrainProt support and follows the footsteps of the HBPP (Human Brain Proteome Project) of the Human Proteome Organization (HUPO).

Thanks to the BrainProt Team, Deeptarup Biswas, Sanjyot Shenoy, Aparna Chauhan, Ankit Halder, Advait Padhye, Biplab Ghosh, Shreeman Auromahima, Hiren Bavaskar, Neha, Sampurna Dutta, Souvik Sasmal, Rishi Tunuguntla, Deeksha Yadav, Ayan Prasad Mukherjee along with collaborators and contributors.

16.04.2023: The BrainProt team, along with Professor Sanjeeva, conducted a hands-on demo for a group of over 30 students from NMIMS. The demo provided an interactive learning experience, allowing the students to gain practical knowledge and insights. The session was well-received and offered a valuable opportunity for the students to engage with the BrainProt team and Professor Sanjeeva, benefiting from their expertise in the field.

The BrainProt team conducted a hands-on demo with a particular focus on brain diseases. During the demo, we showcased the upcoming release of BrainProt version 3.0 at GenVision 2023. The team had the opportunity to interact with a large number of enthusiastic young minds and engage in discussions about the future of BrainProt. Additionally, we have announced the forthcoming launch of the BrainProt Community, providing a platform for further collaboration and knowledge sharing.
