A five-day practical course for early-stage researchers on how to discover and engineer nanobodies – single domain antibodies derived from the heavy chain only immunoglobulins of camelids (llamas, alpacas and camels).

Date: 26 – 30 October 2026

Location: Rosalind Franklin Institute, Harwell Campus

Cost: £250 for participants from academic institutions and includes all course materials, meals and 4-night’s accommodation (26-29 Oct) in the on-site guest house.

This course is open to early-career post-doctoral researchers and PhD students with at least one years’ laboratory experience and a background in biochemistry, molecular biology or related fields.

You will learn:

• Phage display and selection of nanobodies
• Expression, purification and characterisation of nanobodies
• Data management and machine learning applied to nanobodies
