The Department of Mathematics & Statistics will hold its last Coffee Time event of 2022 at 2:30 p.m. on November 21 with Dr. Samuel Kakraba, who will present "Application of Machine Learning to Drug Discovery and Design: The Case of Modeling of Anti-Leukemia Activity of Small Molecules."
Leukemia affects all populations and is the most common cancer in children younger than five years of age. Recently, the field of drug discovery, design, and pharmaceutical sciences has been seeing increasing machine-learning algorithms applied to the screening and characterization of small molecules. Using R statistical software, we designed and implemented a machine learning-driven pipeline that incorporated several machine-learning algorithms for modeling anti-leukemia activity of small molecules from the TDZD library synthesized by our research group.
