The Cell Line Ontology (CLO) Consortium
The Cell Line Ontology (CLO) Core Development Team currently includes the following members and organizations:
Primary CLO developers:
- Sirarat Sarntivijai (Sira), ontologist, European Bioinformatics Institute (EBI). Previously: postdoctoral research fellow, Office of Clinical Pharmacology, Center for Drug Evaluation and Research, Office of Translational Sciences, FDA, Maryland, USA; PhD in Bioinformatics from University of Michigan. Sira was also the primary developer of the Cell Line Knowledgebase (CLKB).
- Yongqun "Oliver" He, DVM, PhD, Associate Professor, University of Michigan Medical School, Ann Arbor, MI, USA. Cell line representation; large cell line data processing.
More CLO developers:
- The University of Michigan (UM) Group (in addition to Oliver He):
- OliverEdison Ong, PhD in Bioinformatics.
- In addition to Sira who worked in UM, two other UM alumni have contributed on CLO:
- "Asiyah" Yu Lin, previously Research fellow, University of Michigan Medical School
- "Allen" Zuoshuang Xiang, previously bioinformatician, University of Michigan Medical School
- Bioassay Ontology (BAO):
- Stephan Schürer, Asst Prof at the Department of Molecular and Cellular Pharmacology and leads the Cheminformatics Group at the Center for Computational Science at the University of Miami. He leads the BioAssay Ontology (BAO) project.
- Uma Vempati, Associate Scientist at the Center for Computational Science, University of Miami Miller School of Medicine and is the domain expert for the BioAssay Ontology (BAO).
