}Biological organisms are composed of numerous interconnected biochemical processes. Diseases occur when normal functionality of these processes is disrupted. Thus, understanding these biochemical processes and their interrelationships is a primary task in biomedical research and a prerequisite for diagnosing diseases, and drug development. Scientists studying these processes have identified various pathways responsible for drug metabolism, and signal transduction, etc.

A knowledge based approach for representing and reasoning about signaling networks
- Computer Science, MedicineISMB/ECCB
- 2004
This approach is different from most other qualitative systems biology approaches in that it is based on reasoning (or inferencing) rather than simulation, and can perform various kinds of reasoning such as planning, hypothetical reasoning and explaining observations.
Synthesis of Pharmacokinetic Pathways through Knowledge Acquisition and Automated Reasoning
- Computer Science, MedicinePacific Symposium on Biocomputing
- 2010
This paper proposes a novel approach for automated pathway synthesis that acquires facts from hand-curated knowledge bases that is capable of synthesizing these pathways but also uncovering information that is not available in the manually annotated pathways.
Querying Parse Tree Database of Medline Text to Synthesize User-Specific Biomolecular Networks
- Computer Science, MedicinePacific Symposium on Biocomputing
- 2009
This paper proposes a new paradigm in synthesizing biomolecular networks by allowing biologists to create their own networks through queries to a specialized database of Medline abstracts, and shows that this approach is capable of synthesizing these networks with high precision and even finds relations that have yet to be curated in public databases.
Discovering drug–drug interactions: a text-mining and reasoning approach based on properties of drug metabolism
