• Knowledge Graphs Symposium @ Bio-IT World*

  The Knowledge Graphs Symposium, a pre-conference event at the Bio-IT World Conference & Expo, will showcase how next-generation graph technologies are transforming the landscape of biomedical research. As the scale and complexity of multimodal data continue to grow, knowledge graphs are evolving from experimental tools into essential platforms for integrating diverse datasets and revealing new biological insights. Speakers will share real-world experiences demonstrating how knowledge graphs unify fragmented data, enable richer analysis, and map complex biological relationships across scales. Designed for data scientists, bioinformaticians, computational biologists, and R&D leaders, this symposium provides practical perspectives on how AI-infused knowledge graphs can drive more efficient research, support translational breakthroughs, and open new frontiers in precision medicine.

  Symposium Themes:
  2026: Connect Fragmented Data for Unified Views and Powerful Discoveries
  2025: Symposium Theme: Bring Knowledge Graphs to Life through Real-World Scientific Applications
  2024: Leverage Integrated Knowledge Graphs to Accelerate Biomedical Research, Drug Discovery, and Precision Medicine
  2023: n.a.
