However\, the quality of the input genomi cs features and the output clinical variables has been ignored in these al gorithms. In this talk\, I will introduce two studies that develop methods to learn more accurate molecular signatures and drug response values for cancer research. These studies are supported by NSF\, NIH\, and Moffitt Ca ncer Center.\n\n\n Speaker\n\n\nDr. Wei Zhang is an Assistant Professor in the Department of Computer Science and Genomics and Bioinformatics Cluster at UCF. His research interests include computational biology and machine learning. His research has centered on investigating the role of transcrip tome variants in diseases\, spanning from technique-driven research (e.g.\ , algorithm development for disease outcome prediction)\, to hypothesis-dr iven investigation of specific biological problems. Dr. Zhang received NSF CRII award in 2018 and NIDDK dkNET New Investigator Award in 2020.
