With companies acknowledging the value of their data, it becomes increasingly important that data integrity be assured – and data stewardship implemented. In this article, Ian Harrow and Thomas Liener, Consultant Project Managers at The Pistoia Alliance explain the importance of the FAIR (Findable, Accessible, Interoperable, Reusable) data principles, factors currently limiting their implementation and […]
The FAIR Data Principles are a hot topic in research data management. Everybody wants to play FAIR, but how can principles become best practices? This webinar discusses the production and use of research data that is Findable, Accessible, Interoperable, and Reusable (FAIR) and what it means for the research ecosystem.
In 2020, a team of scientists from AstraZeneca, Bristol Myers Squibb, Novartis, and Roche set forth to find a way to convert unstructured biological assay descriptions into FAIR information objects. In this talk, we will present the lessons learned in the pilot project to annotate bioassay descriptions (bioassay) en masse and will chart a way to expand […]
Roche, as a leading biopharmaceutical company and member of the Pistoia Alliance, has a diverse and distributed ecosystem of platforms to manage reference data standards used at different parts of the organization. These diverse reference data standards include ontologies and vocabularies to capture specifics of the research environment and also to describe how clinical trial […]
The Pistoia Alliance, a global, not-for-profit alliance that works to lower barriers to innovation in life science and healthcare R&D, has completed the pilot phase of the DataFAIRy: Bioassay project. This collaborative project aims to make bioassay information available in a FAIR format to increase the efficiency of bench scientists engaged in experiment planning and […]
FAIR Toolkit and Future Direction presentation from the 2020 Virtual Conference
Supports the implementation of the Findable, Accessible, Interoperable and Re-usable (FAIR) guiding principles
This webinar explores how the Mondo ontology bridges clinical and translational research, featuring insights from Chris Mungall and hosted by the Pistoia Alliance’s FAIR Implementation Community of Interest.
By Amos Bairoch, University of Geneva and Swiss Institute of Bioinformatics This webinar presents the Cellosaurus, a manually curated knowledge resource which aims to describe all cell lines used in biomedical research. It provides information on immortalized, naturally immortal and finite life cell lines. Its taxonomy scope encompasses both vertebrates and invertebrates. Currently it describes […]
This webinar will explore how the FAIR (Findable, Accessible, Interoperable, and Reusable) data principles can serve as a key enabler to automate and accelerate R&D process workflows. Through the lens of a real-world use case, the session will illustrate the practical implementation of FAIR, highlighting its role in driving faster and more impactful science. By […]
