Topic

AI and ML in Drug Design & Discovery

Description

AI is rapidly revolutionizing drug design and discovery, fuelled by the promise of dramatically accelerating a very costly and time-consuming process. Four peak presentations will showcase state-of-the-art research activity in this fast evolving field. The talks will be of broad interest for scientists working into the field of HPC and Big Data in drug design and biosciences more broadly, from advanced graduate research student level, to early career researchers and beyond.

Date & Time: Thursday 26th May 2022, 12 noon – 4pm (AEST)
Note that the webinar will soft open at 11:50am.

She was previously a professor of chemistry and chemical and biomolecular engineering at the Center for Theoretical Biophysics at Rice University, Houston, Texas. She also conducted research as an Einstein Visiting Fellow at the Collaborative Research Centers “Investigation of Membranes – Molecular Mechanisms and Cellular Functions” and “Scale Cascades in Complex Systems” at Freie Universität Berlin. Cecilia Clementi is the first scientist to be permanently recruited to work in Berlin following her support as an Einstein Visiting Fellow. Arvind Ramanathan (Computational biologist @Argonne National Laboratory) Arvind Ramanathan is a computational biologist in the Data Science and Learning Division at Argonne National Laboratory and a senior scientist at the University of Chicago Consortium for Advanced Science and Engineering (CASE). His research interests are at the intersection of artificial intelligence, high performance computing and biological/biomedical sciences. His research focuses on developing scalable AI methods for understanding complex biological phenomena including phase separation in biological systems as well as design of novel CRISPR/Cas9 probes to modify microbial functions. He obtained his PhD from Carnegie Mellon University and has been awarded the UT-Battelle Early Career Award (2017), apart from being recognized with the IEEE/ACM Gordon Bell Award for HPC in COVID-19 research (2019). Michele Vendruscolo (Professor @University of Cambridge) Michele Vendruscolo is Professor of Biophysics, Director of the Chemistry of Health Laboratory and Co-Director of the Centre for Misfolding Diseases at the Department of Chemistry of the University of Cambridge, where he moved over 20 years ago. His work is aimed at establishing the fundamental principles of protein homeostasis and protein aggregation, and at exploiting these principles to develop methods for drug discovery in neurodegenerative diseases. He has published over 500 scientific papers and 20 patents and given over 500 invited lectures at international meetings. Olexandr Isayev (Assistant Professor @Carnegie Mellon University) Olexandr Isayev is an Assistant Professor at the Department of Chemistry at Carnegie Mellon University. In 2008, Olexandr received his Ph.D. in computational chemistry. He was Postdoctoral Research Fellow at the Case Western Reserve University and a scientist at the government research lab. During 2016-2019 he was a faculty at UNC Eshelman School of Pharmacy, the University of North Carolina at Chapel Hill. Olexandr received the “Emerging Technology Award” from the American Chemical Society (ACS) and the GPU computing award from NVIDIA. The research in his lab focuses on connecting artificial intelligence with chemical sciences.
