Discover drug targets with Europe PMC Machine Learning Dataset and Open Targets

Not yet rated

This webinar introduces the Europe PMC human-annotated full-text corpus for Gene/Proteins, Diseases and Organisms and highlights how it has been used to train machine learning models for systematic identification and prioritisation of potential therapeutic drugs by the Open Targets Platform. This webinar will explain how to access and reuse the annotated corpus as an open community resource and provide an overview of the Open Targets Platform.

Europe PMC is an open access life science database of journal articles and preprints, containing over 41 million abstracts and 8.7 million full-text articles.

Open Targets Platform is an innovative public-private partnership that uses human genetics and genomics data for systematic drug target identification and prioritisation.


Who is this course for?

This webinar is suitable for anyone interested in using Europe PMC Machine Learning Dataset and Open Targets to discover information on drug targets and further life science applications of the corpus. No prior knowledge of bioinformatics is required, but undergraduate level knowledge of biology would be useful.

Outcomes

By the end of the webinar you will be able to:

  • Describe the role of Europe PMC and Open Targets in accessing drug target information
  • Describe uses of the Europe PMC Annotations Corpus
  • Access theEurope PMC Machine Learning Dataset
