Our  remit…  

(i)  representing  the  sector  at  initial  Training  the  Trainers  (TTT)  events    (ii)  organisation  of  an  initial  workshop  that  performs  a  training  gap  analysis  for  the  sector      (iii)  fund-­‐raising  for  resources  that  aim  to  plug  these  training  gaps.

Achieved  so  far…  Survey  of  100  UK  groups  who  need  or  deliver  training  in  structural  bioinformatics    

2  day  workshop  at  the  EBI  –  established  a  ‘Training  Network’  and  champions  in  8  themes      Questionnaire  and  notification  of  our  training  network  sent  to    60  major  european  groups  in  structural  bioinformatics  to  identify  training  material    4  meetings  to  review  existing  training  material,  identify  gaps  and  plan  mechanisms  for  organising  the  data

Purpose  of  the  Workshop    

•  To  reach  agreement  on  the  training  needs  of  our  target  audiences:  •  clinical  researchers  •  bench-­‐based  molecular  life  scientists    •  structural  biologists  •  structural  bioinformaticians  •  computational  chemists  (industry)  •  medicinal  chemists  (industry)  

•  To  develop  a  plan  of  how  to  meet  these  needs

Two-­‐day  workshop  (February  2014)  

 Target  audiences  and  their  needs  

Gaps  in  structural  bioinformatics  

training  and  how  to  fill  them  

Opportunities  going  forward  

•  Divided  audiences  in  to  two  groups:      -­‐  Generalists    -­‐  clinical  researchers,  molecular  life  scientists,  medicinal  chemists  

 -­‐  Specialists  -­‐  structural  bioinformaticians,  structural  biologists,  computational  chemists  

25  attendees,  3  breakouts

What  are  the  common    learning  needs  of  the  target  audience  

•  How  is  the  quality  of  a  protein  structure  reported  

•  How  can  you  predict  the  structure  of  a  protein  if  the  structure  has  not  been  determined  

•  How  can  you  assess  the  quality  of  a  predicted  structure  

•  What  can  be  inferred  from  a  protein  structure  at  different  levels  of  quality  eg  •  Impacts  of  a  mutation  on  the  stability  or  function  •  Affinity  for  a  particular  ligand

Structural  Bioinformatics  Sector  Activities  

January                                              :  designed  survey  of  needs  sent  to  200  groups          across  the  UK    

February    (EBI)                  :  2-­‐day  workshop,  25  participants  April  (UCL)                                  :  reviewed  training  material,  designed      

     a  survey  to  identify  further  material,  sent  to        60  European  groups  (30  responses)  

June  (EBI)                                      :  reviewed  training  material,  identified  gaps,          planned  training  workflows  

August  (UCL)                        :  detailed  design  of  workflows  and  metadata          for  TESS,  Niall  Beard  from  TeSS  present  

October  (UCL)                  :  sample  training  workflow  complete,  request          for  funding  planned

What  are  the  next  steps…….  

•  Discussions  with  TeSS  team  on  how  the  metadata  is  integrated  in  the  platform  

•  Continue  to  survey  material  and  design  the  workflows  

•  Establish  a  broader  working  group  across  europe  (already  in  discussion  with  Torsten  Schwede,  Gert  Vriend,  others)    

•  Discussion  with  BBSRC  and  other  funding  agencies  to  obtain  funds  to  take  the  work  forward    

•  We  need  an  18  month  post  who  will  work  with  champions  in  each  theme  to  build  the  workflows  and  populate  the  metadata  tables  

•  Another  survey  of  industry,  medical  researchers,  experimental  biologists
