ATG presents computational biology tools at MoDiPro workshop

Merzhausen, Germany: – German-based contract research organization ATG:biosynthetics (ATG) will present it leading-edge computational biology tools at the upcoming workshop “Biotechnology Meets IT”.

The event is hosted by the ZIM Collaboration Network as part of the “Models for Diagnostics and Process Optimization” (MoDiPro) project of which ATG is a leading member.

Delegates will include biotechnology research professionals from industry and academia, seeking to optimize their processes through digitization or their collected data, e.g. for research & development, scale-up, production optimization or diagnostics.

Computational biology leaders

ATG: biosynthetics will be presenting its latest contributions in data acquisition & collection, data structuring & stratification and data reduction & integration.

“In all these fields, ATG is at the frontiers of computational biology in preclinical research and veterinary sciences,” said ATG’s CEO, Dr. Hubert S. Bernauer.

We will be showing how our use of molecular and serological experimental and clinical data sets can enable improved decision-making processes aiming on best candidates in terms of highest plausibility of target efficacy and less side effects of vaccines and drugs,” said Dr. Bernauer.

Developing diagnostic tools

The German-language workshop aims to build and strengthen contacts between biotechnology and the IT industry, focusing on starting points for projects concerned with optimization of biotechnological development and production processes for the development of prognosis tools for diagnostics. It will feature invited experts who will provide insights into the added value of data analysis methods and predictive computer models.

The workshop is staged as an all-day event on April 26, 2018, at 9:30 am at the Am Klopferspitz building in Martinsried, home of the Ellipse 1 Innovation and founding center for biotechnology. It is organized by Industrial Biotechnology Bayern Netzwerk GmbH, as network manager of the MoDiPro ZIM cooperation network.
