[04/23/2015]Â Computational Methods for the analysis to predict novel signaling partners of kinases and G-protein
This Thursday, the Biomedical Informatics Student Club is having an event on Thursday, April 23.  Dr. Andrew Rouillard joined Ma’ayan Lab in 2013. His research applies computational methods fro the analysis of a variety of projects. In 2007, he graduated with a B.S. in Chemical and Biomolecular Engineering at Cornell University. During his undergraduate study, he developed an interest in applying chemical engineering principles to solve biomedical problems. In 2013, he finished his Ph.D in Biomedical Engineering at University of Virginia.
Projects that generate a large number of measurements of the properties of cells, tissues, model organisms, and patients are becoming commonplace in biomedical research. In addition, curation projects are making great process mining biomedical literature to extract and aggregate decade worth of research findings into online databases. Such projects are generating a wealth of information that potentially can guide research toward novel biomedical discoveries and advances in healthcare. However, biomedical data are currently scattered across many online databases and stored in disparate formats. To facilitate access to and learning from biomedical Big Data we collected information about genes and proteins from over 100 datasets hosted by over 50 resources. We distilled the information from the datasets into attribute tables that define associations between genes and attributes, where the attributes are genes, proteins, cell lines, tissues, experimental perturbations, diseases, phenotypes, or drugs, depending on the dataset. We also computed gene-gene similarity networks from the attribute tables. These attribute tables and similarity networks can be integrated to perform many types of computational analyses. To demonstrate their utility, we created computational methods that use these attribute tables and similarity networks to predict novel signaling partners of kinases and G-protein coupled receptors, two classes of proteins that are important in many diseases and are often candidate drug targets
