Systems Biology for Drug Discovery:

Professor Liam O’Connor, Professor of Systems Biology & Bioinformatics, Bioscience Research Centre, La Trobe University

• 12-1pm Friday 6 November, Level 1, Seminar Room, Borchardt Library, La Trobe University

Post-genomic era drug discovery takes place in the context of an exponentially growing amount of genomic, transcriptomic, proteomic and chemical data. Making sense of all this information often requires going beyond reductionist models of biology and pharmacology. Dr O’Connor’s research involves using multiple diverse data types to extend our knowledge of the developmental and molecular signaling pathways dysregulated in disease.
