Abstract
The Biomedical Data Translator has already established itself as a powerful platform for
integrating diverse biomedical data and enabling complex reasoning across a federated
architecture. In the Performance Phase, we aim to elevate Translator to a new level of utility and
impact by addressing key limitations and expanding its capabilities. Our overarching goal is to
transform Translator into a highly versatile and user-centric tool, capable of delivering precise,
actionable insights to support both basic and translational research.
To achieve this, we will expand Translator's ability to handle a broader range of queries by
incorporating new data types such as clinical trials, pharmacogenomics, multiomic, and
metagenomic datasets. These enhancements will enable researchers to pose more
sophisticated questions utilizing their own data in the context of Translator, uncovering
connections and pathways that were previously inaccessible. In parallel, we will improve the
transparency and provenance of Translator's outputs by developing new methodologies for
evidence tracking and confidence assessment, ensuring that users can fully trust and
understand the information they receive. We aim to closely collaborate with the Translator User
Interface team to expose these new query and data types, as well as enhance the clarity and
interpretability of evidence, provenance, and confidence associated with query results.
High performance and scalability are also central to our vision. We will optimize our tools’
architecture to handle larger, more complex datasets, with improved speed and efficiency. This
will involve refining knowledge graph integration, decreasing API response time and call
frequency, enhancing data caching, and streamlining update processes, all of which will
contribute to a more responsive and reliable system.
Crucially, we will also expand user engagement, making Translator more accessible and
valuable to a broader audience of researchers and clinicians. By implementing advanced user
feedback mechanisms and developing new tools for user-supplied data integration, we aim to
foster a dynamic, collaborative ecosystem where users can actively shape the future
development of Translator.
This project brings together an interdisciplinary team from Penn State University, the Institute for
Systems Biology, Oregon State University, The Broad Institute, and Grenoble University. Each
institution’s team contributes unique expertise, ranging from reasoning agent development and
knowledge graph construction to user engagement and molecular data integration. This
multi-institutional collaboration is crucial for addressing the complex challenges of expanding
and optimizing the Translator system, ensuring that it continues to provide cutting-edge tools
and insights for the biomedical research community.

Publications
Publications are associated with projects, but cannot be identified with any particular year of the project or fiscal year of funding. This is due to the continuous and cumulative nature of knowledge generation across the life of a project and the sometimes long and variable publishing timeline. Similarly, for multi-component projects, publications are associated with the parent core project and not with individual sub-projects.
