Hollander To Discuss Health Omics Metadata Commons
NIH’s Office of Data Science Strategy hosts a seminar series to highlight exemplars of data sharing and reuse on the second Friday of each month. The next virtual seminar will take place on July 11 at noon.
Dr. Zsuzsanna Hollander, director, data science at Genome British Columbia in Vancouver, Canada, will present the Health Omics Metadata Commons, which serves as a free centralized hub for storing and disseminating metadata pertaining to human biological samples and omics research data.
The hub’s primary objective is to foster the reuse of data, thereby expediting scientific breakthroughs and driving advancements in personalized medicine. By consolidating metadata from various biobanks and omics research projects, the commons facilitates seamless data discovery, promotes interoperability and encourages collaboration across diverse health research domains.
Hollander is a passionate leader driven to advance human health and wellness by maximizing the value derived from data through data management and data science. She has 20 years of experience in translational health research, data mining and management, and database development. Hollander co-authored more than 50 scientific papers and co-invented two patents in the genomics and molecular diagnostics fields.
