What if you could ask a computer, “What connects this gene, this drug, and this disease?” – and get back biologically reasonable answers with real data? Kathleen Carter works at the intersection of biology, data, and artificial intelligence developing biomedical knowledge graphs. These structured and interconnected “maps of science” reveal how data points relate to one another. Much like a GPS for information, these graphs help both researchers and Al systems navigate complex scientific landscapes making data more interpretable and actionable. Join us to learn how her work is making biomedical data more accessible, reliable, and impactful for the scientific community and the broader public.
