Research interests
Developing semantic resources and applying artificial intelligence and data science methodologies to leverage the biomedical big data for discovery and translational research. My methodological work lies in:
  • data management, data modeling, and data integration.
  • semantic technologies for knowledge representation, data interoperability and computational reasoning.
  • development of interoperable bioinformatic tools and reproducible workflows.
  • knowledge discovery based on evidence:
    • applying artificial intelligence methods on knowledge graphs for hypothesis generation.
    • developing semantic web tools harnessing the web of linked data.
    • metadata description to enhance discovery in science based on evidence.
My applied research includes work on heterogeneous data for (rare) genetic diseases:
  • to understand the molecular mechanisms that lead to abnormal phenotypes and diseases.
  • to predict candidates for diagnosis, therapy and toxicology using biological networks and a systems biology approach (network medicine).
