    Summary

    My research focuses on the development of computational methods to understand how living systems respond to chemical agents. We use Semantic Web technologies to formally represent and reason about data and services. I serve as a co-chair for the World Wide Web Consortium Semantic Web for Health Care and Life Sciences Interest Group (W3C HCLSIG) and am the Scientific Director for Bio2RDF, a widely recognized open-source project to create and provide linked data for life sciences.
