Description

Big Data Analytics in Chemoinformatics and Bioinformatics: With Applications to Computer-Aided Drug Design, Cancer Biology, Emerging Pathogens and Computational Toxicology provides an up-to-date presentation of big data analytics methods and their applications in diverse fields. The proper management of big data for decision-making in scientific and social issues is of paramount importance. This book gives researchers the tools they need to solve big data problems in these fields. It begins with a section on general topics that all readers will find useful and continues with specific sections covering a range of interdisciplinary applications.

Here, an international team of leading experts review their respective fields and present their latest research findings, with case studies used throughout to analyze and present key information.

Key features

  • Brings together the current knowledge on the most important aspects of big data, including analysis using deep learning and fuzzy logic, transparency and data protection, disparate data analytics, and scalability of the big data domain
  • Covers many applications of big data analysis in diverse fields such as chemistry, chemoinformatics, bioinformatics, computer-assisted drug/vaccine design, characterization of emerging pathogens, and environmental protection
  • Highlights the considerable benefits offered by big data analytics to science, in biomedical fields and in industry

Readership

Researchers involved in the management and practical use of big data in chemistry, biology, chemoinformatics, bioinformatics, computational chemistry, new drug discovery, drug design, and surveillance of emerging pathogens. Students and young researchers interested in techniques and applications of big data analytics

Marjan Vračko

is senior researcher at Kemijski Inštitut/National Institute of Chemistry in Ljubljana, Slovenia. Since 1994 his research has been focused on QSAR (quantitative structure-activity relationship) modelling of biological/toxical properties of compounds, to quantum chemistry, to chemometrics (numerical analysis of proteomic and genomic data) and to modeling of interaction between receptors and molecules. He obtained his PhD (1990) from University of Erlangen, FR Germany in the field of quantum chemistry. Later on, he was a post doc at the Columbia University of New York and at the University of Namur, BE (Faculté Universitaire Notre Dame de la Paix, Namur). In 1994 he joined the National Institute of Chemistry in Ljubljana. In 2005 he was senior visiting researcher at the Joint Research Centre of European Commission, Ispra where he worked on applications of (Q)SAR methods for regulatory purposes. He is author of 85 scientific papers and chapters
