MINI-TRACK: Pharmacoinformatics for the improvement of pharmaceutical services and drug discovery
DESCRIPTION
The advances of information systems and technologies and web-based information sharing have raised expectations of healthcare organizations with regards to the use of such systems for the improvement of healthcare services. On the other hand, advances in information processing and representation have also raised the prospects of pharmaceutical companies to use advanced Pharmacoinformatics for protein engineering necessary for the design of new drug entities, medicinal chemistry and molecular analysis of therapeutics in pursuit of maximizing drug efficacy and minimizing systemic toxicity and adverse events. Such developments suggest that integrated approaches for the management of pharmacy information and pharmacoinformatics applications are needed in order to enable all stakeholders to benefit from the rapidly expanding knowledge of pharmaceutical care services and potential drug and therapeutic targets. The workshop on Pharmaco-Informatics for Drug Discovery aims to provide a forum to share comprehensive techniques and approaches for the establishment of efficient and intelligent pharmacoinformatics for the improvement of pharmaceutical care services and drug discovery.
SUGGESTED TOPICS
Research topics may include but are not limited to:

* Pharmacoinformatics: methodological and conceptualization frameworks.

* The role of Pharmacoinformatics in improving pharmaceutical services.

* Intelligent pharmacoinformatics.

* Crowd sourcing data for Pharmacoinformatics from social networks.

* Data integration tools and analytical systems for Pharmacoinformatics data.

* Advanced Pharmacoinformatics applications for the improvement of Pharmacovigilance processes.

* Pharmacoinformatics for drug discovery.

* Generation of integrated pharmacoinformatics databases.

* Biomedical text mining for drug discovery pipeline.

* Pharmacoinformatics-based Rational design of drug combination.

* Pattern recognition and classification in translational research.

* Protein-protein interaction network analysis for disease.
