Dr. Nick Pabon publishes first author paper in PlosCompBio titled: “Predicting protein targets for drug-like compounds using transcriptomics” with Profs. Carlos J. Camacho and Ziv Bar-Joseph.
The paper describes the first method capable of predicting novel drug-target interactions using gene expression profiles. Nick contribution was specially notable in highlighting correlations between profiles indirectly related to the target as the main determinant of physical interactions in the machine learning model.
