Dr. Joanne Luciano was with the Tetherless World Constellation
from August of 2010 until December 2013 as a Research Associate
Professor.
Dr. Luciano has played a leading role in the BioPathways
Consortium, in the creation and development of BioPAX and the
establishment of the W3C initiative in the Health Care and Life
Sciences. She is co-developer of the OWL-based BioPAX pathway
ontology which has become the standard for pathway-related
bio-research. She has made significant contributions to pathway
modeling, and is familiar with systems such as EcoCYC, BIND,
WIT, KEGG, SBML, and others. She has intimate familiarity with
the relevant tools such as Stanford’s Protégé knowledge
acquisition tool and the underlying Semantic Web technologies
including OWL and RDF. These skills together with her extensive
interactions with the multi-disciplinary community of
researchers, places her in a unique position to contribute to
projects with her skill, contacts, and know-how. Of particular
significance is her ability to effectively communicate with
specialists in a range of disciplines (computer science,
biology, medicine, physics) which enables effective
cross-disciplinary collaborative research.
