 nvite you to the <strong data-end="390" data-start="294">first edition of t
 he FEBS Advanced Practical Course on Generative AI for Protein Engineering<
 /strong>, which will take place in <strong data-end="463" data-start="417">
 Blankenberge, Belgium, on 19&ndash;24 April 2026</strong>.</p><p data-end="
 774" data-start="468">	This course is intended for researchers with experie
 nce in protein engineering who have begun exploring computational tools and
  now wish to move beyond the basics. The focus will be on solving concrete 
 problems through <strong data-end="711" data-start="687">hands-on assignmen
 ts</strong>, supported by theoretical lectures introducing key concepts.&nb
 sp;Participants will join <strong data-end="830" data-start="799">thematic 
 half-day workshops</strong>, each centered on adapting state-of-the-art AI 
 tools to important research challenges:</p><ol>	<li data-end="774" data-sta
 rt="468">		Introduction to Protein Design Principles</li>	<li data-end="774
 " data-start="468">		Protein&ndash;Protein Interactions</li>	<li data-end="

 hines</li>	<li data-end="774" data-start="468">		Membrane Protein Design</l
 i>	<li data-end="774" data-start="468">		Small-Molecule Binders and Enzymes
 </li></ol><p data-end="774" data-start="468">	Building on these workshops, 
 participants will spend at least&nbsp;<strong data-end="1235" data-start="1

 n design project. On the final day, each team will present their results.&n
 bsp;</p><p data-end="1335" data-start="1133">	By the end of the course, par
 ticipants will:</p><ul>	<li data-end="1335" data-start="1133">		Understand 
 protein design pipelines, including challenges and bottlenecks.</li>	<li da
 ta-end="1335" data-start="1133">		Gain proficiency with widely used AI and 
 computational tools for protein design.</li>	<li data-end="1335" data-start

 lications.</li>	<li data-end="1335" data-start="1133">		Access community-de
 veloped teaching resources to continue learning independently.</li></ul><p 
 data-end="1921" data-start="1749">	The program emphasizes <strong data-end=
