A key aspect of our approach involves using computational frameworks that are powered by formal (i.e. machine understandable) semantics to make effectively use of vast and diverse amounts of biomedical knowledge. We are particularly interested in understanding how the response to chemical exposure is modulated by genetic and physiological variation among individuals and how this translates into altered capabilities at the molecular level.<i>&nbsp;<\/i><\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 id=\"selected-publications\" class=\"wp-block-heading\">Selected Publications<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p>Ayvaz S, Horn J, Hassanzadeh O, Zhu Q, Stan J, Tatonetti NP, Vilar S, Brochhausen M, Samwald M, Rastegar-Mojarad M, <strong>Dumontier M<\/strong>, Boyce RD. <a href=\"http:\/\/www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov\/pubmed\/25917055\">Toward a complete dataset of drug-drug interaction information from publicly available sources.<\/a> J Biomed Inform. 2015 Jun;55:206-17. <a href=\"http:\/\/dx.doi.org\/10.1016\/j.jbi.2015.04.006\">http:\/\/dx.doi.org\/10.1016\/j.jbi.2015.04.006<\/a><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Samwald, M., Gimenez, J.
