A growing number of computationally intensive research activities require commensurate large-scale data management. In particular, high resolution imaging instruments such as cryogenic electron microscopes require automation of data flows to increase throughput and researcher productivity, as well as to ensure the instrument remains highly utilized. Globus was initially established as cyberinfrastructure for managed file transfer and secure data sharing. We have grown Globus into a comprehensive platform for research data management that includes services for data description and discovery, protected data management, and automation. The Globus platform-as-a-service is increasingly used to easily build and execute automated data flows in this context. We will describe how the platform facilitates end-to-end automation of complex research flows, and will present scenarios from research universities and national facilities that illustrate implementation of common use cases.

This presentation explores the transition from raw data sheets from various departments to a centralized database, enabling the integration of previously disassociated data sets. Emphasizing a data-driven approach, this system empowers formulation and manufacturing decisions in the drug product development process. The application of low-code dashboarding facilitates comprehensive visualization and reveals valuable insights hidden in a scattered data landscape. Join us as we delve into this remarkable journey of scientific discovery and technological advancement.

The data management platforms being sold into the bio and pharmaceutical industries are expensive and incentivized to vertically integrate and capture the customer. Long-Term Data Management is best executed when policies are clear and infrastructure is abstracted and swappable. iRODS provides an open-source example of how this approach can be implemented to sustain FAIR data practices, consistency, and cost-savings across your enterprise.

The constantly evolving world of privacy and data protection is becoming increasingly complex. The laws about data sharing, gaining appropriate consent, and data ownership can create many challenges for organizations and cause project delays or even lead to clinical trial failure. This talk will draw on The DPO Centre’s extensive privacy experience across the spectrum of life sciences and healthcare, offering a comprehensive overview of these challenges and providing invaluable information with practical solutions for navigating the complexities of EU privacy regulations. Learn important insights and knowledge about current EU and UK privacy legislation and the implications for data processing, especially for research projects, whether for a pharmaceutical clinical trial, medical device or a biotech genomics study. This knowledge can help prevent project delays, avoid legal complications, and ultimately contribute to successful outcomes. Having a deeper understanding of the importance of data protection will not only benefit the audience but also contribute to the broader scientific community by promoting ethical and legally compliant research practices.
