Title: Innovations by Inventor Keith D Allen
Introduction
Keith D Allen is a notable inventor based in Cary, NC (US). He has made significant contributions to the field of biological data analysis, holding a total of 10 patents. His work focuses on developing computational methods that enhance the understanding of complex biological systems.
Latest Patents
One of his latest patents is titled "Computational method and system for identifying network patterns in complex biological systems data." This invention serves as a data query and analysis tool that identifies patterns in experimental data. The methods and systems provide context for biological data, including metabolic, gene expression, and proteomic data, by applying the data to a network representation of biological processes. Nodewalker, as it is known, moves beyond the traditional linear pathway view of biology to a network view, using the network as a data integration tool to seamlessly merge disparate data streams.
Another significant patent is "Data analysis methods for locating entities of interest within large, multivariable datasets." This invention offers methods for the rapid location of subsets of large, multivariable biological datasets that are of most interest for further analysis. It aids in investigating molecular modes of action of biological phenomena and identifying sets of data points that best distinguish between experimental groups as putative biomarkers. The methods allow users to quickly pinpoint the subset of data of most interest without losing a large percentage of relevant information, which is often a drawback of standard methods.
