This repo contains material accompanying the lecture on Mechanistic, statistical, and causal modeling in drug discovery in the Master Program Drug Sciences at the University of Basel. The next lecture takes place on March 21st, 2024, at Biozentrum Basel.
The three review papers introduce modeling techniques that are commonly used in drug discovery.
- Zhang et al. (2020) introduces a hierarchy of models with regard to the scales at which we study drug-body interactions.
- Badillo et al. (2020) introduces statistical and machine learning techniques to model data.
- Michoel and Zhang (2023) introduces the concept and the practice of causal modeling.
