Exploring the not-so-fundamental Life Sciences Research fundamentals Sylvia Kuijpers Relationship Manager Research + International Policy & Governance Internet2 Global Summit, 25 April 2017
Life Science clusters Molecular imaging MRI SPECT PET Molecular imaging Focus on performing the experiments with the techniques available Use of local and sometimes national compute clusters External hard drives used for transfer, back-up and storage of the output They don’t contact local ICT for help Main concerns Unstable servers when transferring data to compute Threat of losing precious data No quick & secure access to temporary students
Possibilities for NREN, Compute and eScience facilities Compatibility of network and compute facilities Improving research workflow (eScience) Optimizing code/software Optimizing data transfers Optimizing access to compute
Research engagement possibilities Understanding researchers Gathering requirements Improve services to accommodate their needs Adoption of cyberinfrastructure services by (more) researchers
