Fa eder\, Department of Computational and Systems Biology\, University of Pit tsburgh\n Tuesday November 8\, 12-1pm\n Zoom Link: https://mcgill.zoom.us/j/ 86855481591\n\nAbstract: My research is focused on the mathematical and co mputational modeling of cell regulatory processes. We and others have deve loped an approach to modeling the reaction kinetics of biochemical systems that allows detailed knowledge about protein-protein interactions to be e ncoded as rules that generalize the standard reaction network formulation and enables the building\, simulation\, and analysis of models in a scalab le and precise manner. Using this rule-based approach\, we developed found ational models of early events in immunoreceptor and growth factor signali ng that allowed us to investigate the mechanistic roles of specific intera ction domains and phosphorylation sites. My group currently leads the deve lopment of widely-used software tools that enable rule-based modeling\, an d we develop models employing these methods across a wide range of biologi cal processes including immune signaling\, viral replication dynamics\, an d signaling pathways in cancer. In each of these applications a significan t focus of our work is on the development of novel drug combinations and o ther intervention strategies to treat human disease.\n DTSTART:20221108T170000Z DTEND:20221108T180000Z SUMMARY:QLS Seminar Series - James Faeder URL:/qls/channels/event/qls-seminar-series-james-faede r-343271 END:VEVENT END:VCALENDAR
