Big Data Analytics in Chemoinformatics and Bioinformatics

Dr. Basak is an adjunct professor in the department of chemistry and department of biochemistry & molecular biology at the University of Minnesota Duluth. He received his Ph.D. in Biochemistry from the University of Calcutta in 1980. He is a member of several academic societies, including International Society for Mathematical Chemistry, of which he is President, and is a US Chair in the organization of thirteen international mathematical chemistry workshops in USA, South America, and various universities/ research institutes in India. He was awarded ARA Journal Best Paper Award, American Romanian Academy of Arts and Sciences (2004) and Statistics in Chemistry Award, American Statistical Association (2004). is senior researcher at Kemijski Inštitut/National Institute of Chemistry in Ljubljana, Slovenia. Since 1994 his research has been focused on QSAR (quantitative structure-activity relationship) modelling of biological/toxical properties of compounds, to quantum chemistry, to chemometrics (numerical analysis of proteomic and genomic data) and to modeling of interaction between receptors and molecules. He obtained his PhD (1990) from University of Erlangen, FR Germany in the field of quantum chemistry. Later on, he was a post doc at the Columbia University of New York and at the University of Namur, BE (Faculté Universitaire Notre Dame de la Paix, Namur). In 1994 he joined the National Institute of Chemistry in Ljubljana. In 2005 he was senior visiting researcher at the Joint Research Centre of European Commission, Ispra where he worked on applications of (Q)SAR methods for regulatory purposes. He is author of 85 scientific papers and chapters
