Research summary
AI-generated

Katy Börner works at the intersection of data visualization and biomedical data science, developing tools and methods to map and organize large-scale scientific and biological information. A central focus is building the Human Reference Atlas, a coordinated effort to catalog the anatomical structures, cell types, and tissue units of the human body. Her work also includes visualizing research networks (such as scientific literature and public health data) and creating knowledge graphs to make complex information more accessible.

Publication activity grew steadily and peaked around 2021-2023, with lower counts in the most recent years that likely reflect incomplete indexing of recent work.

Funding
Public award records

Current awards run through July 2027 — about under a year of funding on record from today. Awards are often renewed, so this is what is currently public, not a forecast.

Collaborators per year
Distinct co-authors at Indiana University each year — a rough indication of whether the group around this researcher has been growing or contracting. An estimate from co-authorship, not a roster: collaborators are not necessarily lab members, and recent years can be under-counted while indexing catches up.
