We are excited to announce the next session of the RePo-Webinars online series, organized within the framework of the RePo-SUDOE project, dedicated to drug repurposing. Each session brings together leading experts presenting computational approaches, tools, and key methodologies in this field.
🎤 Fifth Session: Sergio E. Baranzini
This time, we are delighted to welcome Sergio E. Baranzini, Professor of Neurology at the University of California San Francisco. He holds a PhD in Human Molecular Genetics from the University of Buenos Aires and currently leads, at UCSF, an interdisciplinary laboratory that combines experimental and computational research.
Dr. Baranzini is an active member of the International Multiple Sclerosis Genetics Consortium and leads the iMSMS consortium, which investigates the role of the microbiome in susceptibility and progression of multiple sclerosis. He is also the principal investigator of the SPOKE project, an ambitious bioinformatics initiative aimed at integrating and analyzing large-scale biomedical data.
In his talk, titled “Using causal inference and a knowledge graph to inform drug repurposing”, he will demonstrate how causal inference and knowledge graphs can guide the identification of new therapeutic opportunities.
🔍 A unique opportunity to learn how data integration and computational intelligence are reshaping drug discovery and repurposing.
