Biomedical concepts BioAsk can identify

Entity recognition helps researchers quickly locate the most important terms, biological concepts, and scientific signals inside large collections of biomedical records.

🧬

Genes

Detect gene symbols, gene names, genomic concepts, mutations, and gene families inside biomedical text.

  • TP53
  • BRCA1
  • EGFR
  • KRAS

Gene extraction helps connect genetic terms to diseases, pathways, protein products, biomarkers, and therapeutic targets.

🔬

Proteins

Identify proteins, enzymes, receptors, antibodies, signaling molecules, and protein complexes.

  • p53
  • EGFR
  • IL-6
  • HER2

Protein recognition supports discovery of protein interactions, signaling pathways, target biology, and antibody-related research.

🩺

Diseases

Detect disease names, disorders, syndromes, pathological conditions, cancer types, and clinical indications.

  • Breast cancer
  • Alzheimer’s disease
  • Inflammation
  • Diabetes

Disease extraction helps group search results by indication, clinical context, biomarker relevance, and therapeutic area.

🧭

Pathways

Identify biological pathways, molecular mechanisms, signaling cascades, metabolic processes, and cellular functions.

  • Apoptosis
  • MAPK signaling
  • DNA repair
  • Glycolysis

Pathway extraction helps connect genes, proteins, and diseases to broader biological mechanisms.

💊

Drugs & Compounds

Detect small molecules, inhibitors, therapeutic agents, biologics, antibodies, and chemical compound names.

  • Kinase inhibitors
  • Monoclonal antibodies
  • EGFR inhibitors
  • Biologics

Drug and compound extraction supports target discovery, patent review, therapeutic mapping, and clinical trial exploration.

🧫

Organisms

Identify species, model organisms, pathogens, viruses, bacteria, human samples, animal models, and experimental systems.

  • Virus

Organism recognition helps researchers understand experimental context, model systems, host-pathogen relationships, and translational relevance.

📈

Biomarkers

Detect diagnostic, prognostic, predictive, and pharmacodynamic biomarkers mentioned in biomedical records.

  • CRP
  • PSA
  • HER2 status
  • Cytokine levels

Biomarker extraction supports diagnostic research, patient stratification, assay selection, and clinical-development analysis.

🏥

Clinical Concepts

Identify interventions, outcomes, trial phases, patient populations, clinical endpoints, and therapeutic areas.

  • Overall survival
  • Intervention
  • Patient cohort

Clinical entity detection helps connect biomedical research to trials, interventions, outcomes, and translational medicine.

Extraction Workflow

How BioAsk detects bio-entities

1

Read biomedical text

BioAsk scans abstracts, patents, clinical records, and other biomedical text sources.

2

Detect terms

The system identifies biological terms such as genes, proteins, diseases, pathways, drugs, and biomarkers.

3

Classify entities

Detected terms are grouped into entity types to make results easier to browse and interpret.

4

Connect meaning

Entities are linked to relationships, themes, categories, and source records.
