Hoffmann-La Roche AG\, Basel) DESCRIPTION:Mathematics is integral to the interdisciplinary research that drives modern drug discovery. The talk will walk the audience through basi c principles and selected applications of computational biology and bioinf ormatics\, a branch of applied mathematics\, in drug discovery\, It is hop ed that the principles\, examples\, and unsolved challenges discussed duri ng the talk can initiate an exchange between researchers from different fi elds\, and inspire future interdisciplinary efforts in disease understandi ng and drug discovery.\\r\\nJitao David Zhang was a Marie-Curie Fellow at European Bioinformatics Institute (2007-2008) and an International PhD Pro gramm Fellow at German Cancer Research Center (2008-2011). He obtained the doctorate degree in computational biology and biostatistics in 2011 and i n that year joined Pharma Research and Early Development (pRED)\, the rese arch unit of F. Hoffmann-La Roche AG in Basel\, Switzerland. He supports e arly drug-discovery projects\, develops algorithms and software for data a nalysis and interpretation\, and collaborates to devise new technologies a nd platforms. His research interests include biological data modelling and integration\, biological network analysis\, molecular phenotyping\, and a pplied machine learning in disease understanding and preclinical drug disc overy.\\r\\nSlides [t3://file?uid=1194] X-ALT-DESC: Mathematics is integral to the interdisciplinary research that drives modern drug discovery.
