What is BiomarkerKB?
BiomarkerKB is a Common Fund Data Ecosystem (CFDE) sponsored project to develop a knowledgebase that will organize and integrate biomarker data from different public sources. The data will be connected to contextual information to show a novel systems-level view of biomarkers. The motivation for this project is to improve the harmonization and organization of biomarker data. This will be done by mapping biomarkers from public sources to, and across, CF data elements. This mapping will bridge knowledge across multiple Data Coordinating Centers (DCCs) and biomedical disciplines.
Our Mission:
Provide computational and informatics resources and tools for biomarker research.
Integrate biomarker data and knowledge from diverse resources.
Our Goals:
Mapping biomarkers from public sources to relevant data elements.
Mapping contextual data from participating CFDE DCCs.
Developing a framework for organizing biomarker data.
Creating tools for querying and exploring biomarker data.
Disseminating the results of this project to the research community.
