Video of his talk
Abstract :
Over the last decade, biology and medecine have integrate much more deeply in their scientific processes, computer science approaches. This seminar will describe some of the approaches used to tackle genomic medecine, large scale data integration and semantic knowledge data mining.
This presentation will thrive to foster discussion between computer scientists, biologists, biocurators on the way forward in the 21st century biology and medicine arena.
Bio :
Ioannis Xenarios is the Director of Vital-IT Group in Lausanne as well as the Swiss-Prot Group in Geneva. He received a Ph.D in immunology at the Ludwig Institute of Cancer Research and the Institute of Biochemistry. He worked on the development of the Database of Interacting Proteins (DIP) under the supervision of Prof. David Eisenberg at the University of California Los Angeles. He then became the head of Translational Bioinformatics at Serono (now Merck Serono) where his group developed computational methodologies in the area of proteomics, microarray and genetics. He is one of the Principal investigators of the ENFIN project aiming at providing methods in dynamical systems modeling. Ioannis Xenarios is UNIL full Professor affiliated to the CIG(UNIL) and Biochemistry/Chemistry department (UNIGE). His research interests are on the use ROBDD borrowed from logic synthesis that he use and extend for modeling in silico, the cellular decision processes of biological systems.
