Summary
Sirarat Sarntivijai is a lead IT business consultant and knowledge-graph specialist with 11+ years driving FAIR data management, semantic web technologies, and large-scale data integration across life sciences and drug R&D. She blends deep technical expertise in ontologies (EFO, Cell Line Ontology, Ontology of Adverse Events) with program-level leadership—coordinating multinational projects, public–private partnerships, and EC-funded initiatives such as FAIRplus and CONVERGE. Known for making data, tools, and compute resources Findable, Accessible, Interoperable and Reusable, she has led interoperability strategy at ELIXIR and now manages global omics data programs at Boehringer Ingelheim. Comfortable translating between policy makers, standards developers, bioinformaticians and cloud engineers, she also brings hands-on bioinformatics and software workflow experience from EMBL-EBI and FDA postdoctoral work. Off the clock she describes herself as a “hardcore ontologist” who loves animals and food, a hint at a pragmatic curiosity that fuels both community building and reproducible science.
