Insilico Medicine, Inc to present on the recent advances in applying the deep learning techniques to biomarker development and drug discovery at the BioData World Congress in Cambridge, UK. Jane Schastnaya, a research scientist at Insilico Medicine, will give a presentation on October 27th in the "Genomics personalized medicine and biomarkers" track.
"BioData World is one of the world's top conferences on bioinformatics bridging academia and industry, and I am very thankful to the organizers and our company for the opportunity to present our research at such a high-profile event. Insilico Medicine is clearly one of the leaders in the field with several "industry firsts" and events like BioData World allow us to find new challenges and sources of data that rapidly result in valuable research results. I will be presenting our work on applying deep learning techniques to estimating the chronological age of the patient using very simple blood tests as well as the comprehensive gene expression data. These biomarkers of aging are likely to be indicative of the overall health status and can be combined with the biomarkers of age-related diseases and used to improve clinical trials enrollment practices", said Jane Schastnaya, a research scientist at Insilico Medicine.

The presentation titled "Actionable biomarkers of aging and disease trained on biochemistry and transcriptomics data" will cover the applications of deep learning techniques to large repositories of biomedical data and creating multi-modal biomarkers and predictors of therapeutic use of the drugs for high-throughput screening, deep-learned predictor of human age trained on human blood biochemistry and transcriptomics data. It will also cover the new method for deriving the importance of the features in deep networks soon to be published in a peer-reviewed journal.
