new seminar series - “Innovators in Computational Biology & AI"

A new seminar series: “Innovators in Computational Biology & AI” 4/4

We are excited to introduce a new seminar series – “Innovators in Computational Biology & AI,” sponsored by the Warren Alpert CBAI Scholars Program. Our inaugural speaker, Dr. Sarah McGough from Genentech, will share her experience transitioning from graduate school to industry, offering valuable insights into biotech, work culture, and career opportunities. Don’t miss her tips on navigating the job application process and career prospects. Please RSVP to help us plan for the event.

Speaker: Dr. Sarah McGough (Genentech)

Date: Friday. April 4th, 1:30-2:30PM

Location: Edwards Building, R358

Refreshments will be provided

Gevaert group published in Nature Machine Intelligence: Towards a more inductive world for drug repurposing approaches

Nature Machine Intelligence:
In collaboration with Dr. Mikel Hernaez at CIMA, the Gevaert lab has benchmarked inductive and transductive methods for drug target interaction discovery. We show that transductive methods don’t generalize and lead to inflated performance when traditionally evaluated, making them unsuitable for drug repurposing. We propose a biologically driven inductive strategy for negative-edge subsampling.
