Nanobody Discovery Summer School: Current & Future Methods, 23rd–25th September 2026
Date and venue:
23rd–25th September 2026
University of Nova Gorica, Vipavska cesta 13, Rožna Dolina, SI-5000 Nova Gorica, Slovenia
Description
This Summer School is open to Master and PhD students with a basic background in biochemistry, structural
biology, molecular biology or related fields. It's ideal for who is ready to integrate nanobody discovery into
their work—computationally, experimentally or both. We will select max 10 participants based on their
submitted abstract and motivation letter.
What You'll Learn?
- How nanobody libraries are constructed, characterized, and screened.
- How wet-lab nanobody phage display screening of target antigen works.
- How computational and AI workflows are useful to store, model, rank, design and simulate nanobody candidates.
As part of the Summer School programme, there will also be a lecture by Assist. Prof. Dr Sara Fortuna from the University of Udine, a partner university of Across - European Cross-Border University Alliance. Summer Schools also represent an excellent opportunity for the exchange of knowledge within the international space covered by the Across Alliance, of which the University of Nova Gorica is also a member.
