DataBytes: Calling all Data Scientists…Introducing ROBOKOP
December 10 @ 12:00 PM EST - 1:00 PM EST
ROBOKOP (Reasoning Over Biomedical Objects linked in Knowledge Oriented Pathways) is a knowledge graph system that aims to accelerate and advance scientific discovery by enabling users to simultaneously explore dozens of integrated and harmonized sources of biomedical knowledge. ROBOKOP has been applied to suggest mechanistic insights into biomedical questions and hypotheses for subsequent testing across multiple domains, including hepatotoxicity, environmental determinants of disease, drug repurposing and mechanism of action, and others.
During this NCDS webinar, Dr. Karamarie Fecho will provide a short presentation and live demonstration of ROBOKOP, followed by an opportunity for attendees to pose questions to ROBOKOP and explore answers.
After this webinar, attendees will:
● Gain a general understanding of knowledge graphs
● Be aware of the ROBOKOP knowledge graph system and know how to access it
● Have a basic understanding of how to query ROBOKOP and interpret results
Funding
ROBOKOP is funded by NIEHS with joint support from the NIH Office of Data Science (#U24ES035214). Drs. Alexander Tropsha and Chris Bizon, of the University of North Carolina at Chapel Hill, serve as Principal Investigators.
About Dr. Karamarie Fecho
Dr. Fecho holds a PhD degree in Neurobiology from UNC’s School of Medicine. Her scientific background is broad and spans the clinical and translational spectrum, from basic science to clinical research to healthcare quality assurance/improvement and data science.
Kara currently serves as Founder and CEO of Copperline Professional Solutions, which is a small biomedical consulting company that she founded in 2010. Through Copperline, Kara has engaged with numerous academic organizations, pharmaceutical companies, tech start-ups, and non-profits, providing a wide array of services, products, and expertise.
Kara also is a Research Affiliate at RENCI, where in recent years she has been focused on the development and application of biomedical knowledge graphs. This webinar will focus on her work on the ROBOKOP (Reasoning Over Biomedical Objects linked in Knowledge Oriented Pathways) knowledge graph system.
