Data Science Centre

Managing, analysing and sharing data at scale

To foster both research and services, the EMBL Data Science Centre has been established to ensure that data generated  are expertly curated, annotated, managed, integrated, visualised, and shared.

The Data Science Centre aims to facilitate research advances in data science, offers internal and external services, tools and resources, develops common representations (data, conventions, workflows) and contributes to training and career development via the activities of our priority areas.

The Data Science Centre collaborates with all EMBL sites to realise progress on the following priority areas as part of its workstreams, including internal and external training, integrated data management, scientific workflow sharing, AI, provision of public data services, and technical infrastructure.

The Data Science Centre aims to

    • Facilitate research advances in Data Science
    • Offer internal service: research support for biologists
    • Offer external service: critical tools & data resources
    • Develop common representations: data, conventions, workflows
    • Contribute to training & career development

“The exponential increase in the volume of biological data every 18 months is a challenge that many institutions face. It underscores the need for this Data Sciences Centre. We want to tackle data challenges by working together with our staff and fellows and ultimately share our solutions with others.”
