Keynote Speaker

Dr. Anthony Gitter is an Associate Professor in the Department of Biostatistics and Medical Informatics at the University of Wisconsin-Madison and the Jeanne M. Rowe Chair at the Morgridge Institute for Research. His research group develops machine learning tools for biochemistry applications such as drug discovery and protein engineering. In addition, they use network modeling to connect genomic, transcriptomic, and proteomic data and provide a cohesive view of a biological process, with special emphasis on virology and oncology.
