Graph mining, bioinformatics/computational biomedicine

Farhan Tanvir is a lecturer in the Department of Computer Science at Georgia State University. His research focuses on graph mining with applications to bioinformatics/computational biomedicine. He has been involved in several scientific projects related to bioinformatics and computational biology and has published in KDD, DSAA, ACM BCB, ICDE, CIKM, ECML PKDD, IEEE/ACM TCBB and Frontiers in Big Data.
Tanvir’s research involves using graph-based techniques/methods to solve critical problems in biology and medicine. Understanding the intricate relationships between biological entities, including drugs, proteins, pathways, substructures, ATC codes and diseases, is crucial for various biomedical applications such as drug-drug interaction (DDI) prediction, drug development and repurposing, and patient treatment recommendation. He designs heterogeneous networks to model these intricate relations.
