Our Presentations/Talks
Title: Data Management and FAIR Data in the Lab
Speaker: Christophe Girardey
Topics:
- Data Management / Data Science as foundation for a successful AI implementation.
- The sad reality of Data within the lab: paper, proprietary data format, lack of system integration.
- How can digital system like LIMS/LES and standards in the lab (SiLA, AniML/Allotrope) set the right foundation for FAIR Data?
- Presentation of first use cases for AI within the Lab.
Title: From Instrument to Knowledge: How to Organize the Digitalization of Your Laboratory?
Speaker: Steven van Helden
Abstract:
On a high level it sounds rather straightforward: you perform your scientific experiments in the lab, collect the data from the instruments, store them in a central database and knowledge is derived that drives the development of products.
The reality that you face in the lab is much more complex: you will have to consider optimizing workflows, integrating instruments, making sense of the different software solutions, dealing with your IT department, ensuring lab security, FAIRification of your data, coping with software updates and new developments, and finally translating all this into a sustainable IT landscape.
Using a screening lab as an example we will show how to build the bridge between science and IT to develop effective solutions for the lab.
