Amy works on on on developing computational methods for automatic integration of biomedical biomedical knowledge Most databases containing biomedical biomedical information - - whether about genes diseases proteins drugs etc - - are siloed and have incompatible formats Amy’s research aims to allow computational reasoning across such disparate knowledge sources thereby advancing translational medicine efforts such as as drug repurposing for for the the treatment of of rare diseases Outside of of her research Amy loves skiing mountain biking and animals
