Philip Bourne gave a talk on his past research leading data science at the NIH and his current and future research. Some of his past work includes developing methods for determining binding site similarity across protein space using geometric potentials and sequence-order independent profile-profile alignment. His current research focuses on using these methods for applications like predicting drug efficacy, toxicity and repurposing old drugs for new uses. He discussed challenges like the large search space and flexibility of proteins. Going forward, he hopes cloud computing environments can help make data and tools more accessible and reusable to advance systems pharmacology research.
