IIT Bombay Develops AI Platforms for Brain Disease Research

Scientists at IIT Bombay have created two smart platforms, BrainProt and DrugProtAI, to help study brain diseases.

BrainProt is a big database that combines different types of biological information about the brain, like genes and proteins, to understand how the brain works in healthy and sick people.

It includes data from over 1,800 patient samples and covers 56 different brain diseases.

DrugProtAI is a tool that helps researchers figure out if a protein can be used to make a drug before spending a lot of time and money on experiments.

It gives a score that shows how likely a protein is to be useful for making a drug.

Together, these platforms help researchers quickly go from finding a disease marker to checking its patterns and seeing if it can be used to make a drug, all in about an hour.
