The BIO5 Institute's Amy Barber spoke with was joined by one of the University’s experts on AI, Dr. Travis Wheeler, computational. biologist and associate professor in the R. Ken Coit College of Pharmacy.
The Wheeler lab at the University of Arizona that focuses on algorithms and machine learning approaches for computational biology, emphasizing applications to genomics, drug discovery, and animal behavior classification.
Listen in as they explore the rewarding aspects of his work, how computational tools are transforming drug discovery, and the future of machine learning and AI in biological research.
Three things you will learn in this episode:
- Drug discovery and machine learning
- AI usage in modern computational research
- Challenges in using AI for precision medicine and how to combat them
