Continuing from Eric's and Helen's lead: My name is John Michon and I'm a physician and faculty member at the Duke University School of Medicine, in the Department of Ophthalmology. My major interest is in applying Semantic Web technology to the clinical record and integrating it with the huge data sets emerging from high throughput methods such as sequencing/genotyping and functional genomics/microarrays. There's a large gap between genotype and clinical phenotype, and endowing both with semantics is a critical task in creating knowledge that we can act upon to improve health. I am excited about the HCLSIG's formal charter and look forward to working with all of you to advance our common interest in making biomedicine more effective, more precise and more comprehensive---in service to our patients and society. I have an MD degree from the University of Illinois and did an eye residency at Johns Hopkins, followed by a clinical fellowship at USC. I also have an MS in biomedical informatics from Stanford University. John Michon, MD, MS
