Subject: Pathways in Biotech


Are you interested in computational biology and/or drug development?



The MIT Biotech Group invites you to the FINAL INSTALLMENT of: The Pathways in Biotech Seminar Series! Please join us on Tuesday, May 3rd from 7-8 PM in Room 2-105 for a seminar on Computational Biology and Drug Development with Dr. Joshua Apgar, co-founder and CSO of Applied BioMath<https://www.appliedbiomath.com/>!



MBG’s Pathways in Biotech Series provides MIT undergrads with a deep dive into four major areas of biotech research and innovation. By interacting with our expert guest lecturers, you’ll learn about the science of biotech, the hottest trends in the biotech industry, and the breadth of career paths available in the biotech space.



Dr. Joshua Apgar is the Co-Founder and Chief Scientific Officer of Applied BioMath, which aims to revolutionize both the quality and economics of drug invention by applying Model-Informed Drug Discovery and Development techniques (MID3). Prior to this, Josh was a Principal Scientist in the Systems Biology Group of the Department of Immunology and Inflammation at Boehringer Ingelheim Pharmaceuticals. His work leveraged physics-based models to translate in vitro and in vivo data, assess target feasibility, understand drug mechanism of action, and predict human doses. The ultimate goal of this work was to reduce late-stage attrition in drug development through a deep and quantitative interrogation of drug pharmacology and disease pathophysiology. Josh received his PhD from MIT in Biological Engineering where he worked on experiment design for Systems Biology, focusing on the identification of tractable experiments that could allow for the estimation of unknown parameters and reveal complex mechanisms in signal transduction networks. Before that Josh worked at Avaki to develop a highly scalable software platform to support High Performance Computing, and Enterprise Information Integration in the Life Sciences, and Engineering.



First 20 attendees will get free food from Saloniki’s!!
