The LAERTES (knowledge base) WG Minutes for 10/18 are now posted along with the meeting recording. Next meeting is planned for Tuesday 11/15 at 3pm Eastern
I owe everyone who tried to attend the LAERTES team call today an apology - first, because the reminder I sent had the incorrect date and did not list a time; second, because I got the real time mixed up in my head as I was going through the day and failed to start the meeting when it was set.
For those interested, I can provide the following update:
-
We submitted a full manuscript to the Journal of Biomedical Semantics titled “LAERTES: An open system architecture for linking pharmacovigilance evidence sources with clinical data.” This is an extended version of the paper that was accepted to the VDOS workshop earlier this year. I am very pleased with how it turned out - thanks to everyone who helped out!
-
Erica is still awaiting a final decision from the Journal of Biomedical Informatics about her paper on a machine learning classifier for negative controls based on the the LAERTES evidence base. Should hear about this any day now
-
Vassilis, Pantelis, and I are continuing to work on wireframes for a new user interface for drug-HOI signal assessment that takes full advantage of the LAERTES evidence base and the new OHDSI population effect estimation methods. We plan to engage stakeholders within a month or two for focused feedback.
-
Besides that, most of my focus for LAERTES the next two months will be on securing long term resources by writing a proposal in response to the RFP “Extended Development, Hardening and Dissemination of Technologies in Biomedical Computing, Informatics and Big Data Science (R01)” Stay tuned,
Please post any other updates as a reply to this message.
best,
-R
