CTSA Ontology Workshop on Precision Health, February 20-21, Orlando, FL

[Bill Hogan]

Join us for the Seventh Annual Meeting of the Clinical and Translation Science Ontology Working Group in Orlando, Florida, February 20-21, 2019.

From genomes to public health, newer and larger datasets are increasingly available to inform precision approaches to the treatment and prevention of disease and disorders. Managing these datasets--especially their integration--for everything from managing the opioid epidemic to the learning health system to translational science--requires more and better ontologies. This workshop will briefly survey the state-of-the-art in ontology at the nexus of these trends, identify needs and opportunities for future work and collaborations, and develop one or more white papers charting the course for the future, including a set of recommendations for key stakeholders.

The Keynote Speaker is Janna Hastings, speaking on Can ontologies help overcome the impasse in mental health research?   The meeting will also include a special session on ontologies in the area of opioid abuse.
