Development of a BioAssay Ontology to enable data mining of compound library screens

Stephan Schuerer, Mitsunori Ogihara, Ubbo Visser and the LemBix lab are collaborating with others affiliated with the University of Miami Center for Computational Sciences on a new project to develop a BioAssay Ontology (BAO) and software tools to formalize the domain of biological (high-throughput) screening assays with the goal of facilitating large-scale analyses of the growing body of diverse data sets, its integration with other life science databases, and ultimately to enable biomedical knowledge discovery.

We are currently seeking Scientific Software Engineer, Scientific Content Curator, and Bioassay Knowledge Engineer for this project.
