<tr><td>09:00-09:50</td><td>Keynote 1: Greg Landrum</td><td>T5 Informatics</td><td><p>Discovering the PyData Ecosystem and RDKit</td><td>If you're working with pharma data in Python, odds are pretty good that you're familiar with tools like pandas, numpy, scipy, and matplotlib. But there are a bunch of other interesting and useful tools out there in the collection of software informally known as the "PyData stack". Those are the things I'm going to talk about here.</p>
<p>I'll start with an intro and overview of the RDKit, since I'm going to be using chemical data in my examples and it's a project that's near and deal to my heart. After that, I'll introduce a few additional members of the PyData ecosystem and demonstrate how they can be used together to solve real problems. I'll also highlight how we can integrate the RDKit with these tools to allow working with chemical data as a first-class citizen. I will close with some thoughts about success and sustainability of open-source projects in our field.</p></td></tr>
<tr><td>09:50-10:20</td><td>Martin Preusse</td><td>University of Freiburg</td><td>Integrating Molecular and Clinical Data with Python Knowledge Graphs & Neo4j</td><td>Data is everywhere but generating useful knowledge is difficult. To create value from data you need solutions for all steps of the process: Data acquisition, cleaning, structuring, annotation, integration, modeling, validation and much more. Even when all technological challenges are addressed, you have to account for the most important aspect of data applications: The human beings who decide what to do and how to use the technology. There are two key aspects of data applications that are overlooked by the current AI hype. First, integrating heterogenous data is still an issue. Second, getting an overview of data is essential to take informed decisions. Knowledge graphs have the potential to adress these aspects and to serve as the central hub of your data application. They link heterogenous data sources and provide access to structured data for decision making, data analysis and end-user applications. In my talk I will give examples how biomedical knowledge graphs implemented in the graph database Neo4j help to link molecular and patient level data. On top of that, I discuss how knowledge graphs can support the use of real world evidence for early stage drug development.</td></tr>

<tr><td>10:40-11:10</td><td>Flaviu Cipcigan</td><td>IBM Research</td><td>Python for molecular dynamics workflows and conformational sampling of cyclic peptides</td><td><p>Molecular dynamics holds great promise for the pharmaceutical industry. Both targets and ligands are dynamic, exploring multiple conformations. Thus, the typical methods that assume a single binding pose or a single shape for a pocket will have limited ability to predict realistic interactions. As pharmaceutical industry moves to larger drugs such as cyclic peptides or therapeutic proteins, molecular flexibility is starting to be more and more important. For example, cell permeability of cyclic peptides can be modulated by their conformational changes.</p> <p>In order for molecular dynamics to be fully adopted by the industry, better tools are needed to manage computational workflows and explore the resulting data. Here, I will discuss a Python middleware that simplifies the running and analysis of molecular dynamics simulations and allows the user to interactively analyse the resulting multidimensional data. I will also present the use of this tool in the context of a research challenge of predicting the permeability of cyclic peptides.</p></td></tr>
<tr><td>11:10-12:00</td><td>Keynote 2: Kai Blin</td><td>Technical University of Denmark</td><td>Mining microbial genomes for interesting metabolites</td><td>Secondary metabolites produced by microorganisms are the main source of bioactive compounds thatare in use as antimicrobial and anticancer drugs, fungicides, herbicides and pesticides. As anincreasing number of microorganisms is becoming resistant against the antimicrobial compoundscurrently in use, there is a dire need for new compounds and compound classes that show newmodes of action to avoid the current resistance mechanisms. In the last decade, the increasingavailability of microbial genomes has established genome mining as a very important method for theidentification of biosynthetic gene clusters (BGCs) responsible for producing such novel compounds.This talk will present antiSMASH, a Python-based tool to mine microbial genomes for interestingBGCs in order to find new bioactive lead compounds. I will show how Python helped antiSMASH tobecome the most widely used tool in the field, with over half a million of processed jobs and over 2000weekly users on the public web service alone. I will also present the up- and downsides of running acomplex analysis pipeline as a web service in Python.</td></tr>

<tr><td>13:45-14:35</td><td>Keynote 3: Maria Rodriguez Martinez</td><td>IBM, Zurich, Research Laboratory</td><td><p>Artificial Intelligence approaches for personalized medicine.</td><td>In recent years, AI has become a very active field in computer science and models with astounding performances in a broad area of applications such as computer vision, speech recognition and natural language processing have been developed. In computational biology, the recent availability of large amounts of data generated by large international consortia together with technical developments facilitating the implementation and training of more performant models have made possible the broad application of deep learning and machine learning approaches to a vast set of problems.</p>
<p>In this talk, I will present current activities at the Computational Systems Biology group in IBM Research, Zurich, that illustrate the application of AI approaches to unravel disease mechanisms and develop personalized patient models. For instance, I will show how models for text ingestion can be used to automatically extract knowledge from biomedical publications and obtain comprehensive maps of molecular interactions. I will also show how multi-modal neural networks can be trained to ingest disparate data types, such as compound molecular structures, transcriptomic data and prior molecular knowledge, to predict drug sensitivity in cancer cell lines. Finally, I will illustrate how deep learning models can be adapted to characterize tumor heterogeneity in single-cell data.</p></td></tr>
<tr><td>14:35-15:05</td><td>Franciska Oschman</td><td>ETH Zurich</td><td>Applications of machine learning in research</td><td>Within the last 20 years machine learning (ML) experienced a boost in its impact on our daily lives. With the help of supervised and unsupervised methods tasks like computer vision, recognition of speech or text have been revolutionized. Due to this high impact of ML ongoing research focuses on the constant improvement of these methods. However, ML is not exclusively the subject of research, but can also be used as a tool for the investigation of research questions. For example, ML is used to uncover hidden patterns in experimental data not detectable with neither the human eye nor standard statistical methods or to train machines so that they can take over repetitive tasks like object recognition. In this talk I will present current applications of ML in research from different domain sciences. I will focus on Python-based techniques for data preparation and analysis applying both standard ML methods and state-of-the-art implementations of deep neural networks.</td></tr>

<tr><td>15:25-15:55</td><td>David Marcus</td><td>GlaxoSmithKline</td><td>Explore, exploit, and extrapolate: How AI-driven SAR navigation facilitates lead optimisation in drug discovery</td><td>Small molecule drug discovery involves a complex multi-parameter optimisation process with cycles of design, make and test to establish a desired compound profile. Within this context, machine learning methods, experimental design and de-novo structure generation have all found a place to facilitate and accelerate lead optimisation. However, they have tended to be used in a reactive manner, to address problems posed by program teams rather than as a continual and proactive process. In this presentation we will describe how data-driven cheminformatics-based AI methods have the potential to automate parts of the lead optimisation process which historically has been a very time-consuming task. This strategy adds the ability to explore and exploit multiple paths within chemical space and suggest structural modifications that will gain better understanding of the SAR problem at hand. In addition, by continually improving computational models we can extrapolate to new regions of chemical space and suggest novel compounds. The implications of automation for the human-machine interface will be explored and illustrated with examples from BRADSHAW, GSK's experimental automated design environment.</td></tr>
<tr><td>15:55-16:45</td><td>Keynote 4: Michał Januszewski</td><td>Google Research</td><td>Reconstruction of neural wiring diagrams from large-scale volume EM data using Python and machine learning</td><td>Dense, synaptic-level mapping of neural circuits requires tracing neurons within volume electron microscopic datasets. With single volumes now reaching the scale of petabytes, manual approaches are no longer viable and automation becomes a necessity. Within the Connectomics team at Google (https://ai.google/research/teams/perception/connectomics/) we have developed infrastructure and algorithms for storage, analysis, and visualization of such large volumetric datasets. Much of this software stack is open source and implemented in Python. In the talk, I will describe how we use this reconstruction pipeline to convert series of EM images into brain connectivity diagrams, and how modern machine learning techniques based on deep neural networks allow us to solve classification and segmentation problems in such datasets.</td></tr>

<h4>María Rodríguez Martínez</h4>
<h5>IBM, Zurich Research Laboratory</h5>
<div id="keynote_1" class="collapse pypharma-bio">
<p>María Rodríguez Martínez did her undergraduate studies in Physical Sciences at Universidad Complutense de Madrid. She then did her PhD in Theoretical Cosmology, at the Institut d’Astrophysique de Paris. Her PhD research focused on developing cosmological models of the early evolution of the universe with additional spatial dimensions. After completing her PhD, she moved to the Hebrew University in Jerusalem, where she focused on setting astrophysical bounds to theories that break Lorentz symmetry using the high-energy emissions from Gamma-Ray Bursts, extremely powerful explosions of gamma rays coming from outside our galaxy.
In 2007, she transitioned into the field of Systems Biology as a postdoc at the Weizmann Institute of Science in Rehovot (Israel). Her research was devoted to the development of quantitative descriptions of biological networks and the complex interactions within. In 2009, she moved to Columbia University where she developed quantitative models to understand cancer gene dysregulation.
María joined IBM as a Research Staff Member in November 2013. Her research at IBM focuses on integrating different high-throughput molecular datasets in order to build comprehensive molecular models of disease that can help clinicians to provide better diagnoses and suggest personalized therapies.</p>

<p>After obtaining a degree in bioinformatics from the computer science faculty at the University of Tübingen in 2009, Kai switched to Institute for Microbiology and Infection Medicine at the same university to obtain his PhD. During his PhD project, he co-developed the antiSMASH genome mining tool, initially released in 2010. Building on his software engineering knowledge obtained working on Open Source software projects since his undergrad days, Kai has focused on developing translational bioinformatics tools and databases. During his first post-doc at the Max Planck Institute for Biology of Ageing in Cologne, Germany, he worked on the doRiNA database of RNA interactions in post-transcriptional regulation. Returning to natural products research, Kai joined the Novo Nordisk Foundation Center for Biosustainability (NNFCFB) at the Technical University of Denmark, in Lyngby, Denmark. In addition to returning to antiSMASH development, he has driven the development of the antiSMASH database, the CRISPR/Cas sgRNA design tool CRISPy-web, and a number of smaller software projects. Kai is currently working as a Researcher at the NNFCFB, where he heads the bioinformatics group of the New Bioactive Compounds section ran by Sang Yup Lee and Tilmann Weber.</p>
