Courses

Practical training in structural biology, protein biochemistry and molecular visualization.

BIMOVIS offers tailored structural biology courses for researchers, industry scientists, project teams and scientific communicators who want to understand, use and present protein structures with confidence.

Our training programmes cover the scientific principles, practical workflows and data interpretation skills needed to work with experimental structures, AI-generated models and molecular visualizations in a research or industry context.

Courses can be adapted to your team’s background, project stage and scientific goals.

Protein Biochemistry & Assay Training

Build a stronger foundation for structural biology projects.

One-on-one or small-group training tailored to your scientific background and project needs
Topics include protein biochemistry fundamentals, construct design, buffer selection, purification strategies, protein stability, complex formation and assay development
Suitable for teams who want to better understand how sample quality, biochemical behaviour and experimental design influence downstream structural biology work

Basics of Structural Biology

Understand the main methods and what they can tell you.

Introductory course covering the principles of structural biology, including X-ray crystallography, cryo-EM, cryo-ET and NMR
Participants learn how structural data is generated, what different methods are best suited for and how to interpret real protein structures from the Protein Data Bank
Ideal for students, researchers and industry scientists new to structural biology or seeking a more structured overview

AlphaFold & Beyond

Use AI-generated structure models with scientific confidence.

Practical course on AI-supported structure prediction, including AlphaFold, ESMFold and related modelling approaches
Participants learn how to interpret confidence scores, assess model quality, recognize limitations and combine predicted structures with experimental data
Designed for scientists and project teams who want to use AI-generated models as part of a broader structural biology strategy

Molecular Visualization for Scientific Communication

Turn complex molecular structures into clear scientific stories.

Designed for business development, communications, leadership and scientific teams who need to present molecular mechanisms and protein structures clearly
Participants learn how visualization can support investor presentations, publications, grant applications, websites, educational material and internal decision-making
Focus is on clarity, scientific accuracy and choosing the right visual level for the intended audience

Visualization in PyMOL

Create clear, publication-ready molecular figures.

Hands-on technical course covering practical PyMOL workflows, from loading and aligning structures to creating selections and highlighting binding sites
Prepare protein-ligand views and generate figures for publications, presentations and supplementary material
Can also include basic scripting, reproducible visualization workflows and best practices for communicating structural features clearly

Structure Validation

Critically assess experimental structures and predicted models.

Teaches participants how to evaluate structure quality using validation reports and tools such as MolProbity, WHAT_CHECK and PDB validation outputs
Topics include Ramachandran analysis, clashscores, geometry, B-factors, electron density interpretation and model confidence
Covers local quality assessment and common warning signs in experimental and predicted structures

Protein Structure Analysis

Extract biological insight from 3D structures.

Practical course on analysing protein structures to understand function, interaction sites, binding pockets and structural mechanisms
Topics include cavity and binding site detection, interface analysis, conservation mapping, conformational comparison and domain movement
Structural interpretation in the context of drug discovery, protein engineering or mechanism-of-action studies

Tailored formats
for your team.

Courses can be delivered as individual sessions, focused workshops or multi-day training programmes. Content and examples are adapted to your scientific background, molecule class, project context and preferred level of technical depth.
