Please, all my apologises for the late information ***** *Speaker: Giuseppe Marco Randazzo (IDSIA) *Title: Cheminformatics: the art of transforming chemistry into information *Abstract: Information are essential in our everyday life. With them, languages represent the basis to assert or deny facts. Like people speak about something also the surrounding nature tell us something with is own language, the “chemical language”. As "Wittgenstein” reported in the Tractatus Logico-Philosophicus (4.002) “Everyday language is a part of the human organism and is no less complicated than it.” we will have a walk inside the chemical language and we will discover how we can infer biological knowledges from molecular structures. *Bio: Giuseppe Marco Randazzo is researcher at the IDSIA institute since November 2017. Prior to this position he was at the University of Geneva with a postdoctoral fellowship position. He has developed chemoinformatic and molecular modelling technologies in Metabolomics studies and natural products bioactivity prediction. In 2013 he got a PhD in chemical sciences under the supervision of prof. Gabriele Cruciani at the university of Perugia. Previously he studied chemistry and physical-organic chemistry at the university of Catania and Perugia. *When: Thursday 27th of June 2018, 12:00-13:00 *Location: Manno, Galleria 1, 2nd floor, room G1-204 *Registration: Pizza (or alternative food) and drinks will be offered at the end of the talk.
