Petr Holub
(BBMRI-ERIC)
Description
As has been demonstrated in the previous years, providing high-quality samples
and data for biomedial research is one of the key challenges the science is
currently facing. BBMRI-ERIC, a European Research Infrastructure Consortium on
Biobanking and Biomolecular Resources, strives to establish, operate, and
further developing a pan-European distributed research infrastructure of
high-quality biobanks and biomolecular resources. The talk will provide an
overview of the BBMRI-ERIC, while focusing in more detail on the IT aspects of
the infrastructure. The major challenges will be discussed such as privacy and
security, heterogeneity, various degrees of completeness, and overall volumes
of the data. The talk will also provide overview of existing and upcoming
services, for which interaction with distributed computing, storage and
middleware infrastructure is of high relevance.
