1st BioHackathon Germany 12-16 December 2022 at Leucorea in Wittenberg |
||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
Following the success of the BioHackathon Europe organized by ELIXIR Europe, ELIXIR Germany is planning to run the first BioHackathon Germany 2022 in Lutherstadt Wittenberg from 12-16 December 2022. We hope to encourage ELIXIR Germany and non-ELIXIR Germany participants to take part, as well as to attract industry engagement.
We will offer 11 interesting projects in different areas, e.g. training, lipidomics, metabolomics, Bioschemas, plant bioinformatics etc. We are planning to hold the BioHackathon Germany with remote access - available for those that cannot attend the meeting in person. We believe this hybrid format will allow everyone to participate in the BioHackathon Germany and deliver optimized outcomes from the selected projects. Seats are limited for face-to-face participation. The registration is based on a first-come, first-served basis. Registration is open until 20 November 2022! |

New Co-Lead for the ELIXIR Metabolomics Community |
||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
Steffen Neumann from the Leibniz Institute of Plant Biochemistry in Halle (Saale) has been elected as the new ELIXIR Metabolomics Community co-lead in September 2022 as a representative of ELIXIR Germany. The other new co-lead is Maria Klapa from ELIXIR Greece.
The ELIXIR Metabolomics Community joins forces with experimental scientists and developers to provide the resources, analysis tools and infrastructure to analyze and interpret metabolomics data. The community aims to establish an infrastructure of services, standards, and datasets to help researchers discover, annotate and analyze metabolomics data from around Europe. Steffen's contribution to the community is focused on using modern bioinformatics approaches in plant biochemistry research as well as the support of data management according to the FAIR principles. We wish Steffen every success in further developing the Metabolomics Community! Find more information on Steffen’s research here.

Harald Wagener elected new Lead of the ELIXIR Compute Platform |
||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
In September this year, Harald Wagener from the Berlin Institute of Health (BIH), has been elected as a new ELIXIR Compute Platform lead representing ELIXIR DE. The ELIXIR Compute Platform develops services in three areas: authentication and authorisation, storage and data transfer, and cloud and computing resources. Furthermore, it works with ELIXIR Communities to ensure the platform's services fit the needs of specific life science domains. Harald will lead the Compute Platform together with Ludek Matyska (ELIXIR CZ) and Juha Törnroos (ELIXIR FI). His contribution to the platform will focus on making sure ELIXIR is well connected to other initiatives such as Gaia-X and ensuring that future ELIXIR tasks will continue to drive forward compute platform services for researchers all across Europe and beyond. Find more information on Harald’s research here and here. We wish Harald great success in driving new developments within the ELIXIR Compute Platform! |

Team of ELIXIR DE Officers is growing!We warmly welcome Dirk Winkelhardt, who started his position as ELIXIR DE Officer on 1 October 2022. Dirk is working in the proteomics field, especially on identifying peptides. Therefore he uses his experience as a computer scientist and software engineer to develop new methods of assembling search spaces for peptide identification in data-dependent acquisition workflows, making it possible to search against the complete UniProt. While deploying his own tools as distributed web applications he is eager to show other researchers how they can do the same with existing software using Python, making their tool available for everybody independent of operating systems or computing resources. |

New Interview Series with Female Data Scientists from Industry and Academia |
||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
Within the framework of the joint Bayer AG and de.NBI/ELIXIR Germany of the "Women in Data Science" lecture series, we are proud to launch this new interview collection aimed at celebrating women's achievements in data science for life sciences and bioinformatics. The interviews will promote the work of female researchers and highlight the diversity of research performed and career paths across Bayer AG, de.NBI, and ELIXIR DE and will appear regularly. Bérénice Batut, co-lead of the ELIXIR Marine Metagenomics Community representing ELIXIR Germany, is the first woman we interviewed. She shared with us her experiences as a woman in the data science field and gave recommendations on building careers and advancement opportunities. Find out more about Bérénice here. |
