There will be two presentations, first a work in progress from Dr. Simon Frost, Reader in Pathogen Dynamics, Dept. of Veterinary Medicine and Institute of Public Health, University of Cambridge and the second will be given by Dr. Robert Ewing, Associate Professor in Proteomics and Systems Biology, Principal Investigator in molecular interaction networks in cancer and development.
RESEARCH PROJECT PRESENTER: Dr. Simon Frost, Reader in Pathogen Dynamics, Dept. of Veterinary Medicine and Institute of Public Health, University of Cambridge.
RESEARCH PROJECT: Automating molecular epidemiology of viruses
BRIEF ABSTRACT: Rapidly evolving viruses lend themselves to molecular epidemiology - the study of how a pathogen transmits at the population level. The increasing size and complexity of viral sequence datasets is starting to outpace our ability to analyse and interpret the data. I will discuss the computational tools we are developing to analyse viral sequence data, and how we are incorporating them into automated pipelines, drawing from examples of HIV-1 and norovirus.
JOURNAL ARTICLE PRESENTER: Dr. Robert Ewing, Associate Professor in Proteomics and Systems Biology, Principal Investigator in molecular interaction networks in cancer and development..
JOURNAL ARTICLE: The journal article titled "Reconstructing targetable pathways in lung cancer by integrating diverse omics data” will be discussed and similar approaches to mapping oncogenic signalling networks will be elaborated upon.
