IIT Seminar Series: Imran Shah

Tue, September 17, 2024 11:00 AM - Tue, September 17, 2024 1:00 PM at 162 Food Safety & Toxicology Building

*The Institute for Integrative Toxicology presents Dr. Imran Shah, U.S. Environmental Protection Agency, to speak on, “Integrating Artificial Intelligence, Systems Modeling and Single-Cell Analysis for Advancing Chemical Safety,” on Tuesday, September 17, 2024, at 11:00 a.m. in 162 Food Safety and Toxicology Building.

Dr. Imran Shah has over 25 years of experience leading computational biology and cheminformatics research in academia, biotechnology, and the US EPA. His work uses artificial intelligence (AI) / machine learning (ML) and systems biology approaches to analyze large-scale heterogeneous biological and chemical datasets to model the health effects of drugs and chemicals. Dr. Shah has pioneered methods for identifying toxicological tipping points by modeling cellular resilience to chemicals using systems biology and single-cell approaches. Before joining the US EPA, Dr. Shah was the head of Computational Systems Biology at Paradigm Genetics and Assistant Professor of Bioinformatics and Pharmacology at the University of Colorado School of Medicine. He completed his undergraduate degree in Physics (1989) from Imperial College London, UK, and his doctoral degree in Computational Biology (1999) from George Mason University, Fairfax, Virginia.

*Fulfills seminar requirements for the Environmental and Integrative Toxicological Sciences Graduate Programs. Seminars that fulfill this requirement are archived at: https://iit.msu.edu/training/eits/recent-seminar-list.html.
