AI in the Life Sciences: Next Generation Analytics Platforms

This talk will present a software engineering initiative to develop better tools for multiscale modeling of chemical, biological and clinical systems. A major objective of the initiative is to increase the use of AI and machine learning technologies to discover and characterize complex biological mechanisms driving health and illness. There will be an exploratory discussion on the use of multiscale OMIC data sets, deep learning algorithms to support chemical characterization, biomarker discovery and drug development, and an exploratory discussion on the use of graph databases for reasoning over molecular data.

Students interested in the use of AI in the Life Sciences are particularly encouraged to attend as 2019 software engineering and informatics internship opportunities will be discussed.
