ABSTRACT:

High-throughput technologies have determined physical interactions for a 
significant fraction of proteins in several organisms. Taken together, 
these linkages form large protein interaction networks. Computational 
analysis of these networks can help uncover the functions of individual 
proteins as well their roles within larger pathways. In this talk, I 
will introduce novel methods for analyzing protein interaction networks 
and uncovering recurring means with which diverse biological processes 
are carried out. Our approach lends insight into the organizational 
principles of protein networks and can be used to determine functionally 
cohesive subnetworks and help predict protein function.
