TITLE:  Computational Functional Genomics or "What to do with all this 
Data?"

SPEAKER: Olga Troyanskaya, Computer Science & Lewis Sigler Institute, 
Princeton University

TIME:       Wednesday, February 14, 2007
             Seminar begins at 12:30 p.m. (lunch provided ~12:20)

LOCATION:    Room 402, Computer Science, Princeton University

ABSTRACT:

Assigning protein function and modeling their interactions in biological 
networks is a key challenge in modern systems biology. Broad 
availability of diverse functional genomic data such as microarray and 
protein interaction studies should enable fast and accurate generation 
of functional predictions and network models through computational 
prediction and experimental validation. However, these data remain 
vastly underutilized due to their biological and experimental diversity, 
high noise levels, and computational and semantic complexity. I will 
discuss challenges and offer some computational solutions in extracting 
from these functional genomic data biological knowledge about protein 
function, regulation, and interactions.
