Discovery and Prioritization of Combinatorial Interventions in Signalling Networks

April 15, 2016
Abstract
Signalling networks play an important role in biological systems, and many diseases are the result of dysfunctional behavior in such networks. In this talk, I will present the latest progress on the OCSANA computational approach for discovering combinatorial interventions in large-scale signalling networks, first published by Vera-Licona et al. in 2013. Recent advances in combinatorial algorithms have improved the time performance significantly, and we are incorporating chemo- and pharmaco-informatic data about the drugability of specific nodes to help prioritize and explain the proposed interventions.
