Publication: Publishing DisGeNET as Nanopublications

On March 25, 2015, Posted by , In Publications, By ,,,,,,, , With Comments Off on Publication: Publishing DisGeNET as Nanopublications

The increasing and unprecedented publication rate in the biomedical field is a major bottleneck for discovery in Life Sciences. Although the scientific community is limited an inability to manually curate facts from published papers, recent approaches enable the automatic, scalable and reliable extraction of assertions from the scientific literature. While…

Publication: A Knowledge-Driven Approach to Extract Disease-Related Biomarkers from the Literature

On April 16, 2014, Posted by , In Publications, By ,,,,, , With Comments Off on Publication: A Knowledge-Driven Approach to Extract Disease-Related Biomarkers from the Literature

The biomedical literature represents a rich source of biomarker information. However, both the size of literature databases and their lack of standardization hamper the automatic exploitation of the information contained in these resources. Text mining approaches have proven to be useful for the exploitation of information contained in the scientific…

Publication: Improving data and knowledge management to better integrate health care and research

On July 15, 2013, Posted by , In Publications, By ,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,, , With Comments Off on Publication: Improving data and knowledge management to better integrate health care and research

Once upon a time, several engineers, biologists and clinicians realized that a lot of information in biomedicine was partitioned into ‘silos’ that do not intercommunicate. These silos were a side effect of the existence of different disciplines required to, for example, develop new drugs. The engineers decided to dispose of the…
