Biodata and AI in Drug Discovery – October 2022

When: October 19, 2022 Time: 3:00 pm

Join us for our latest 3-part webinar series, Biodata and AI in Drug Discovery, to uncover how experts organise data into biological networks and knowledge graphs, and how they refashion existing drug discovery pipelines with the help of artificial intelligence (AI) and machine learning (ML).

Webinar 2: Harnessing biodata for drug discovery

Wednesday 26 October at 3pm BST/ 4pm CET/ 10am EST

In today’s world, datasets are becoming increasingly difficult to capture, manage, process and visualise. The solution may lie in in the data itself, but where? In this webinar, we will explore why networks are vital to the effective conceptualisation of biodata, and how we can leverage biodata to advance drug discovery.

Presentations:

  • Network-based medicine
    • John Quackenbush, Professor of Computational Biology and Bioinformatics and Chair of the Department of Biostatistics, Harvard T.H. Chan School of Public Health
  • Taking advantage of 3D protein ligand information in AI-driven generative compound design methods
    • Uli Schmitz, Executive Director Structural Chemistry, Gilead Sciences

Webinar 3: Knowledge graphs for drug discovery

Wednesday 2 November at 3pm BST/ 4pm CET/ 10am EST

In the rapidly evolving AI space, data science organizations are increasingly highlighting knowledge graphs as a key capability for successful AI projects. These knowledge graphs organise and integrate data into schemas to allow further reasoning and the development of new knowledge. In this webinar, we will hear how knowledge graphs and AI can be used to further the field of drug discovery and development.

Presentations:

  • Toward a better understanding of adverse events using knowledge graphs
    • Peter Henstock, Machine Learning & AI Technical Lead: Combine AI, Software Engineering, Statistics & Visualization, Pfizer
  • Maze Therapeutics applies a genetics knowledge graph to accelerate drug discovery
    • Nolan Nichols, Senior Software Engineer (Bioinformatics), Maze Therapeutics
