摘要:

In this talk, an overview of systems biology research related to Alzheimer's disease in my group at Lincoln University, New Zealand, is presented. Second part of the talk is about reducing large pathways models to simpler ones using machine learning. We have selected the neurobiological models for this exercise. Mathematical details are kept to a minimum and we explain the insights obtained by our research.
