Title:       Computational Prediction and Analysis of Protein-protein
Interaction Networks

Abstract:
Biological networks provide insight into the complex organization
of biological processes in a cell at the system level.  They are
an effective tool for understanding the comprehensive map of
functional interactions, finding the functional  modules and
pathways.Reconstruction and comparative analysis of these networks
provide useful
information to identify functional modules, prioritization of disease
causing genes and also identification of drug targets. The talk will
consist of two parts. I will discuss several methods for protein-protein
interaction network alignment and investigate their preferences to other
existing methods. Further, I briefly talk about reconstruction of
protein-protein interaction networks by using deep learning.
