The long-term research goal of the Butte Lab is to develop bioinformatics methods in integrative biology, or reasoning over the many available genome-scale measurement and experimental modalities, applying these methods to study complex disorders in genomic medicine, especially obesity and type 2 diabetes mellitus.
Dr. Das’s laboratory focuses on the advancement of model-driven architectures and Semantic Web technologies (XML, OWL, SWRL) to support temporal reasoning, data integration, and collaborative systems in health care and the life sciences.
Lowe’s research in the field of biomedical informatics over the past 25 years has focused on the development of novel uses of information technology and computer science to improve human health.
Mark Musen’s laboratory studies components for building knowledge-based systems, controlled terminologies and ontologies, and technology for the Semantic Web. For two decades, Musen’s group has worked to elucidate reusable building blocks of intelligent systems, and to develop scalable computational architectures for systems with significant applications in biomedicine.
