Dear all,
I'm excited to announce next weeks CompCancer Literature Seminar (Wednesday 15.09.) with Louis Cammarata and Adit Radhakrishnan from the lab of Caroline Uhler.
Due to different time zones, the seminar will be at 5pm instead of 10am.
Louis and Adit will introduce us to overparametrized autoencoders and present their latest work where they developed a causal drug repurposing pipeline. This pipeline first identifies relevant drug responses in the latent space of an overparametrized autoencoder fed with drug perturbation data from e.g. CMap. In the paper, they applied their pipeline for drug repurposing against COVID-19.
Best,
Stefan
