Research Focus

We are currently focusing on applying data science methodology and cloud computing technologies to facilitate biomedical discovery, through the large-scale biological data integration.

Research areas
? Biomedical knowledgebase infrastructure and inference engine
? Semantic knowledge presentation and integration
? Biomedical resource discovery
? Clinical informatics
? Crowdsourcing in biological research
? Scientific data management
? Gene network and pathway analysis
? Large-scale genomic data analysis

Scientific applications developed
? http://biogps.org (Gene-centric resource portal)
? https://mygene.info (Gene-centric API, ~30M hits per month)
? https://myvariant.info (Genetic Variant API, ~7M hits per month)
? https://mychem.info (Chemical/drug-centric API)
