Biological datasets amenable to applied machine learning are more available today than ever before, yet they lack adequate representation in the Data-for-Good community. Here we present a work in progress case study performing analysis on…
Longitudinal observational databases have become a recent interest in the post marketing drug surveillance community due to their ability of presenting a new perspective for detecting negative side effects. Algorithms mining longitudinal…
Accumulated clinical studies show that microbes living in humans interact closely with human hosts, and get involved in modulating drug efficacy and drug toxicity. Microbes have become novel targets for the development of antibacterial…
This work studies fundamental questions regarding the optimal design of antimicrobial treatment protocols, using standard pharmacodynamic and pharmacokinetic mathematical models. We consider the problem of designing an antimicrobial…
Many kinase inhibitors have been approved as cancer therapies. Recently, libraries of kinase inhibitors have been extensively profiled, thus providing a map of the strength of action of each compound on a large number of its targets. These…
Worldwide, several cases go undiagnosed due to poor healthcare support in remote areas. In this context, a centralized system is needed for effective monitoring and analysis of the medical records. A web-based patient diagnostic system is a…
Understanding human activities and movements on the Web is not only important for computational social scientists but can also offer valuable guidance for the design of online systems for recommendations, caching, advertising, and…
Predicting discharge medications right after a patient being admitted is an important clinical decision, which provides physicians with guidance on what type of medication regimen to plan for and what possible changes on initial medication…
Antimicrobial stewardship (AMS) is critical in pediatric intensive care units (PICUs), where diagnostic uncertainty often drives broad-spectrum antibiotic use, increasing antimicrobial resistance and potential long-term harms. Machine…
Antimicrobial resistance is one of the biggest health problem, especially in the current period of COVID-19 pandemic. Due to the unique membrane-destruction bactericidal mechanism, antimicrobial peptide-mimetic copolymers are paid more…
Clinicians prescribe antibiotics by looking at the patient's health record with an experienced eye. However, the therapy might be rendered futile if the patient has drug resistance. Determining drug resistance requires time-consuming…
Determination of the minimum inhibitory concentration (MIC) of a drug that prevents microbial growth is an important step for managing patients with infections. In this paper we present a novel probabilistic approach that accurately…
Antimicrobial resistance (AMR) is a growing public health threat, estimated to cause over 10 million deaths per year and cost the global economy 100 trillion USD by 2050 under status quo projections. These losses would mainly result from an…
The collection and examination of social media has become a useful mechanism for studying the mental activity and behavior tendencies of users. Through the analysis of collected Twitter data, models were developed for classifying…
Bayesian network models are finding success in characterizing enzyme-catalyzed reactions, slow conformational changes, predicting enzyme inhibition, and genomics. In this work, we apply them to statistical modeling of peptides by…
Antimicrobial resistance (AMR) poses a mounting global health crisis, requiring rapid and reliable prediction frameworks that capture its complex evolutionary dynamics. Traditional antimicrobial susceptibility testing (AST), while accurate,…
Inferring microbial interaction networks from abundance patterns is an important approach to advance our understanding of microbial communities in general and the human microbiome in particular. Here we suggest discriminating two levels of…
