Overview
Despite the importance of protein kinases for human biology and drug discovery, there is a gap in the knowledge of their substrates, and thus functions, of these critical proteins. To address this challenge, we will develop a novel computational framework to predict kinase-substrate interactions by combining biologically relevant multi-modal data sources with cutting-edge machine learning methodologies. This work has the potential to significantly advance our ability to infer substrates and functions of human kinases, especially the understudied members of this biomedically important protein family, thereby contributing to the illumination of the druggable genome.
