Protein-protein interactions (PPIs) occur when two or more proteins bind together in a cell, in vitro or in a living organism as the interaction interface of proteins is evolved to a specific purpose, the interactions between proteins are connected to biological functions.
Stefano Cresci, member of the SoBigdata Consortium, has been selected from among 13 excellent short-listed nominees as the winner of the 2020 ERCIM Cor Baayen Award. Stefano, from CNR, Italy, has received the award in recognition of the outstanding scientific quality of his research and the impact on science and society that he has already achieved as a young researcher.
Artificial Intelligence is making its way into our lives at a growing pace. Complex and unintelligible models are seeping into our decision-making processes in a wide range of applications, from product recommendation to personal health, from security to credit score.
