Thesis Title: Development and Use of an Oncology Ontology
Dr Ping Yu
About
I have a somewhat unusual position in that I am:
1. a graduate student in the Faculty of Informatics (SISAT), UoW
2. a Clinical Associate Professor in the Graduate School of Medicine, UoW
3. a Director of the Centre for Oncology Informatics, UoW
My clinical specialty areas are Medical Informatics, Technical & Conformal Radiotherapy, Prostate Cancer, Head & Neck Cancer.
Within Informatics, I am working in areas of
* Argumentation
* Radiation Oncology Vocabulary definition and Oncology Ontology development,
* Oncology Work and Knowledge flow in the setting of clinical trials and routine clinical work,
* Clinical Knowledge Markup Language for the annotation of MEDLINE anstracts, clinical trial documents and EPR deposits.
In the past I have undertaken the implementation of IMPAC's MultiAccess (a.k.a. Siemens LANTIS) Oncology Information System, and also undertaken routine clinical reporting from the database in the form of QA checks and Discharge Summaries. This work was the genesis of my Informatics interest. I have also been involved in the integration of Varian's ARIA Oncology Information System in the clinic.
