Integrating Mathematics with Biology and Drug Discovery
Computer Science seminar
Lecturer : Dr. Mor Amitai
Affiliation : Compugen, Ltd
Location : -101/58
Host : Dr. Eitan Bachmat
Compugen focuses on developing processes that yield discoveries with a high probability of successfully making it into clinical development and onwards. Those processes combine "Dry" approaches based on mathematical and computational models with more traditional "Wet" laboratory processes. A key element in the success of these processes is a rapid cycle of development, verification and improvements, driven by closely knit groups of biologists and algorithm developers.

In this presentation, we will review the structure and components of those processes, and provide examples of a ctual discoveries achieved through their operation. We will focus on the processes that are at the heart of Compugen's current discovery efforts: platforms to create an accurate genomic infrastructure and discovery engines targeted at therapeutic proteins and biomarkers.
