Mr. Ishwar Chandramouliswaran will give the opening remarks as chairperson for this panel of the FAIR Data Symposium. At 10:55 a.m. ET, he will moderate the panel discussion on “FAIR in Practice.”

Pre-Conference Workshop: Biomedical Digital Twins

May 16, 2023, at 10:30 a.m.-12:30 p.m. ET

Dr. Eric Stahlberg will provide insight into the Cancer Moonshot℠-funded NCI-Department of Energy (DOE) Collaboration, the Predictive Oncology Model and Data Clearinghouse (MoDaC), and the Digital Twins Ideas lab.

He and other leaders using digital twins and biomedical applications will also discuss:

• launching digital twin efforts.
• factors influencing the present environment.
• challenges and opportunities expected along the way.
• broader questions shaping the future for digital twins in biomedical applications.

Managing Enterprise Scientific Data: Lessons Learned from the Frederick National Laboratory Data Management Environment (DME)

May 18, 2023, at 10:55 a.m. ET

Dr. Stahlberg and Ms. Sunita Menon will further discuss MoDaC and focus on the extensibility of the DME to build other platforms. DME is a platform for storing and sharing high-value scientific data sets. It provides a cost-effective mechanism to manage the large heterogeneous data sets generated by high-throughput technologies. DME addresses the long-term data management needs of research labs and core facilities at NCI while adhering to the FAIR guiding principles for data management.
