PHI 548 (seminar, 3 credits). Registration number: 24057

This course is cross-listed with BMI 508, which is offered as part of the newly accredited PhD program in UB's Department of Biomedical Informatics

Time: 4:00-6:50pm, Mondays, Fall Semester 2016

Room: Baldy 200-G, UB North Campus

Instructors: Barry Smith (Philosophy) and Werner Ceusters (Biomedical Informatics)

Office hours: BS: by appointment via email; WC: TBA

Course Description

This course provides an introduction to biomedical ontology. It will review how data and information are generated through biological and biomedical experiments and through patient care, and show how ontologies are used in accessing, maintaining and exploiting the results. We will describe how biomedical ontologies are developed and evaluated and provide a comparative critical analysis of the principal current ontology resources. We will also review the major theories, methods and tools for the development of ontologies, and illustrate how these are being used in different areas of biomedical research and healthcare. On completion of this course students will have a thorough understanding of strategies to manage and exploit biomedical data; they will have a knowledge of categorization, of the philosophy of experimentation, of the philosophy of medicine, and of computer-based reasoning with data. The seminar will be highly interactive, featuring debates between Drs Smith and Ceusters and between Smith and Ceusters and the course participants.

All slides and videos will be made available at this link

+:Mary Ceusters, a 54 year old non-smoking female, arrives at a Buffalo General Hospital on August 12th, 2007 and Nurse Smith takes her blood pressure and records 160/90mmHg. Based on this reading, Nurse Smith concludes Mary has high blood pressure and prescribes the drug Bumetanide. On July 11, 2009, Mary Ceusters arrives at Erie County Medical Center complaining of sudden chest pains and Doctor Searle conducts an external examination and concludes Mary has suffered a heart-attack, which he suspects is likely the result of coronary artery disease exacerbated by hypertension.
