Title: ENCODING THE HEART: EXTENDING OUR UNDERSTANDING OF HEART DISEASE
THROUGH COMPUTATIONAL BIOLOGY

Date: Friday, December 7th, 2007
Time: 3:30 pm
Location: GMCS 214

Speaker:

Roberta  A.  Gottlieb
Director, BioScience Center
San Diego State University

Abstract:

I will present three applications of computational sciences to the study of
heart disease. I have no expertise in the computational side but will focus
on the biological systems in order to invite dialog on the approaches to
their quantitative study.  

1)     Fluorescence microscopy is used to understand cell biological
processes of mitochondrial fusion and fission events as well as autophagy
in cells and heart tissues: we need to develop rapid optical image analysis
algorithms

2)     Proteomics and the explosion of information from the human genome
project has expanded our ability to mine databases for new insights: we
plan to study the proteome of cardiac autophagosomes in health and disease

3)     Bioinformatics tools allow us to draw correlations from seemingly
disparate observations: how we plan to apply this in the study of
periodontal disease and atherosclerosis
