Project Summary
I have long been interested in the semantics of biological processes: How do we name, represent, store and analyze information about processes that occur across time. This is challenging due to the nature of time, and the often ad hoc ways in which we name parts of processes and their start and end times.
This research direction is similar to the goals of the Physiome: characterizing biological physiology.
Recently, I have began an effort in collaboration with the Institute for Systems Biology, aiming to submit in response to an NIH call for proposals for Physiome research.
