Title: Uncertainty in Torsade Risk due to Different Possible Kinetic Binding Mechanisms for hERG
Bio: Chon Lok Lei is an Assistant Professor of Biomedical Sciences, a principal investigator, at the University of Macau. He completed his doctoral degree as a Clarendon scholar at the Computational Biology group in the Department of Computer Science at the University of Oxford, working collaboratively with a research team at Roche. He received his undergraduate degree and the Dean’s List in Physics from Imperial College London. He has strong research interests in mathematical and computational modelling of biological and physiological systems and their applications in cardiac safety pharmacology. His recent work provides a novel pipeline for quantifying the uncertainty in binding mechanisms and propagating to clinical risk predictions.
