Plasma Protein Binding Rate

Regression based on a dataset of 1,614 drugs from AstraZeneca.
The human plasma protein binding rate (PPBR) is expressed as the percentage of a drug bound to plasma proteins in the blood. This rate strongly affect a drug’s efficiency of delivery. The less bound a drug is, the more efficiently it can traverse and diffuse to the site of actions. From a ChEMBL assay deposited by AstraZeneca.

Predicting Litoria Fallax from climate data

Species distribution model based on a random forest. This uses climate information to predict frog locations. This was a team project; we submitted this to the EY Better Working World data science challenge and finished as a global semifinalist (top 15 of 8000).
