SUMMARY:User meeting for your multi-modal research projects
DESCRIPTION:Boost your research — Book a private SciLifeLab planning and feedback session for your multi-modal research projects! \n\n\n\nRegister here\n\n\n\nOnce we have received your registration\, you will be sent the link to the online meeting. \n\n\n\nDate: June 4\, 9.00 – 10.30 Registration deadline: May 29 \n\n\n\nMultimodal molecular profiling and novel computational methods are transforming life science research\, but also pose new challenges in study design\, project resource planning and data management. SciLifeLab is a national resource of unique technologies and expertise available to life scientists\, in areas such as biomedicine\, ecology and evolution\, aiming to bring scientists together across traditional boundaries and foster collaborations with industry\, health care\, public research organizations and international partners. \n\n\n\nThe first Thursday of every month at 9.00 (except July and August)\, SciLifeLab offers an opportunity to jointly meet with representatives across the SciLifeLab service platforms\, to get feedback and help to plan\, design\, and refine new or ongoing multimodal research projects. Your project plans are discussed privately and remain confidential\, and information will not be shared outside of the service platforms. Note that for most studies\, follow-up meetings will be needed\, but our aim for these meetings is to provide an easy-access entry point for an overarching planning of multimodal studies. \n\n\n\nFor studies focusing on a single technology only\, please primarily contact our service platforms directly as described at the SciLifeLab homepage. \n\n\n\nTo make the best out of the allotted time\, we ask you to provide some background information about your project\, to help us ensure that the relevant experts are available to discuss your study.

SUMMARY:One Health on Two Wheels: From Thessaloniki to Stockholm to Tackle Antimicrobial Resistance and Build Microbiology Capacity in Mbujimayi\, DRC
DESCRIPTION:Antimicrobial resistance (AMR) is a growing global health threat with major epidemiological consequences across human\, animal\, and environmental health.  \n\n\n\nThis lecture will first outline the current global burden and trends of AMR. It will then explore key drivers of rising resistance through a One Health lens\, explaining how interconnected systems—medicine\, veterinary practice\, agriculture\, and the environment—contribute to its emergence and spread. Particular attention will be given to low-resource settings\, where the impact of AMR is greatest and diagnostic capacity remains limited. Field data from Nigeria\, including work conducted with Médecins Sans Frontières (MSF)\, will illustrate these challenges.  \n\n\n\nFinally\, the lecture presents a trans-European bicycle initiative from Thessaloniki to Stockholm\, designed to foster cross-sector dialogue along the North–South AMR gradient while raising funds through a crowdfunding campaign to support the implementation of microbiology laboratory capacity in Mbujimayi\, Democratic Republic of Congo. \n\n\n\nSpeaker\n\n\n\nProf. Dimitri Van der Linden\, pediatric infectious diseases specialist\, specialized pediatrics service\, Pediatric Department\, Cliniques universitaires Saint-Luc\, Brussels\, Belgium. \n\n\n\nRegistration\n\n\n\nRegister here\n\n\n\nMore information\n\n\n\nVENUE: BioClinicum\, J3:11\, Birger & Margareta Blombäck.

SUMMARY:Super-Resolution Imaging of Mitochondria
DESCRIPTION:Professor Stefan Jakobs\, Georg-August-Universität Göttingen\, Germany \n\n\n\n\n\n\n\nAbstract\n\n\n\nMitochondria are essential for cellular function\, yet their small size\, dynamic behavior\, and intricate architecture pose challenges for conventional light microscopy\, which is limited by the diffraction barrier. Super-resolution methods such as Stimulated Emission Depletion (STED) microscopy overcome this limitation\, enabling visualization of mitochondrial features which are blurred with conventional microscopy. In this talk\, I will present how we use STED and complementary imaging approaches to investigate mitochondrial ultrastructure such as the folding of the mitochondrial inner membrane\, mitochondrial proteins\, mitochondrial DNA and mRNAs. Our work aims to uncover how the inner membrane develops and maintains its complex folds\, and how this architecture relates to gene expression within the organelle. I will also discuss emerging automation strategies that streamline STED workflows\, potentially opening the door to broader adoption in biomedical research and clinical diagnostics. \n\n\n\nSuper-Resolution Imaging of Mitochondria \n\n\n\nMitochondria are essential organelles whose small size\, dynamic behavior\, and intricate architecture challenge conventional light microscopy\, which is fundamentally limited by diffraction. Super-resolution techniques such as Stimulated Emission Depletion (STED) microscopy overcome this barrier\, enabling the visualization of mitochondrial structures that remain unresolved with standard imaging approaches. \n\n\n\nIn this talk\, I will present our use of STED and complementary imaging approaches to examine mitochondrial ultrastructure\, including inner membrane organization\, mitochondrial proteins\, mitochondrial DNA and mRNAs. Ultimately\, our work seeks to understand how the highly folded inner membrane is established and maintained\, and how its architecture influences gene expression within the organelle. \n\n\n\nI will highlight recent advances in the automation of STED microscopy that enhance throughput\, reproducibility\, and ease of use\, bringing STED super-resolution imaging closer to routine applications in biological research and clinical settings. \n\n\n\n\n\n\n\nBiography\n\n\n\nProfessor Jakobs is a cell biologist working at the interface of biology and advanced imaging. His laboratory pioneered the use of diffraction-limited super-resolution microscopy for cell biology. More recently\, they have automated these approaches to enable drug screening at unprecedented optical resolution and high throughput. He has published more than 130 manuscripts on this topic and has an h-index of 83 (according to Google Scholar). In addition to his affiliation with the University Medical Center Göttingen\, he leads a research group at the MPI for Multidisciplinary Sciences and is head of the Göttingen Fraunhofer Site – Translational Neuroinflammation and Automated Microscopy. He holds an ERC Advanced Grant focusing on the analysis of mitochondrial ultrastructure using super-resolution microscopy and is spokesperson of the DFG-funded Research Unit FOR2848\, which focuses on the application of advanced microscopic technologies to questions in cell biology.   \n\n\n\nHost: Ilaria Testa ilaria.testa@scilifelab.se

SUMMARY:Striving for Open Science Compliance in Sweden: Achieved Goals and Remaining Challenges
DESCRIPTION:DescriptionOpen Science is high on the Swedish research agenda\, but are we actually delivering increased openness? Join this seminar to find out what the latest data reveals about where progress is being made\, where it is stalling\, and what the findings mean for your own work with open access\, open data\, and research visibility. \n\n\n\nOpen Science has become increasingly embedded in Swedish research policy. Despite ambitious national targets\, Sweden did not achieve full open access to academic publications by 2021\, and open research data is unlikely to reach full implementation by 2026\, highlighting a persistent gap between policy ambitions and institutional practice. This presentation examines the implementation of Open Science in Swedish higher education institutions using longitudinal data from the SUHF Roadmap for Open Science surveys (2023–2025\, as published in https://doi.org/10.7557/11.8391)\, including newly available 2026 results. It highlights areas where implementation has progressed most strongly\, identifies areas where development remains weak\, and discusses the structural changes needed for Open Science to become fully embedded across Swedish academia. \n\n\n\nPresenter: Ineke Luijten\, (PhD)\, Scientific Training Officer at SciLifeLab & Analyst of the annual SUHF OS implementation survey \n\n\n\nRecording: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=7BDKxUjJ524  \n\n\n\nMore information\nThis event is part of the SciLifeLab Open Science seminar series\, an event series by the SciLifeLab Data Centre and NBIS joint Data Management team.The goal of the events in this seminar series is to provide interesting interactive seminars around topics related to Research Data Management and Open Science in general\, and to foster discussions around best practices. \n\n\n\nResearch Data Management (RDM) concerns the organization\, storage\, preservation\, and sharing of data that is collected and analyzed during a research project. Proper planning and management of research data will make project management easier and more efficient while projects are being performed. It also facilitates sharing and allows others to validate as well as reuse the data.Open Science is a set of principles and practices that aim to make scientific research from all fields accessible to everyone for the benefits of scientists and society as a whole. Open science is about making sure not only that scientific knowledge is accessible but also that the production of that knowledge itself is inclusive\, equitable and sustainable. \n\n\n\nThe events are open to everyone working at or affiliated with a Swedish research institute or university. We welcome all researchers\, educational professionals\, staff\, RDM professionals\, and others with an interest in life sciences\, from all university levels. The events are informal and inclusive\, so feel welcome to join and participate in our interesting discussions! \n\n\n\nThe events will be recorded and published openly after the seminars on the SciLifeLab YouTube channel. The slides will be made available at our SciLifeLab Data Repository.More information about SciLifeLab Data Centre and NBIS joint Open Science seminar series: https://www.scilifelab.se/data/scilifelab-data-management-seminar-series/ \n\n\n\nIf you have suggestions for topics or presentations\, please contact us at data-management@scilifelab.seFor more information or inquiries\, please contact us at  data-management@scilifelab.se

SUMMARY:Cryo-electron microscopy as a discovery tool in sperm biology
DESCRIPTION:Speaker: Tzviya Zeev-Ben-Mordehai\, Utrecht University \n\n\n\nAbstract\n\n\n\nCryo-EM single-particle analysis (SPA) approaches typically entail overexpression and purification of the target complex. For that\, prior knowledge of the composition of the complex of interest is required. In the highly specialised sperm cell\, the molecular composition is often not known. During my talk\, I will show how we expand the range of samples attainable for SPA towards more native samples\, specifically towards complex macromolecular assemblies that cannot be reconstituted\, and show how SPA is used as a discovery tool in sperm biology. \n\n\n\nBiography\n\n\n\nAn expert in reproductive structural biology. Zeev-Ben-Mordehai received her PhD from the Weizmann Institute of Science in 2008. In 2015 she established her group in the Division of Structural Biology of Oxford University. Since 2017 her group is part of Bijvoet Centre for Biomolecular Research of Utrecht University. Her group developed the first cryo-ET workflow for mammalian sperm\, enabling molecularresolution imaging of flagellar ultrastructure across species. Her landmark studies have revealed the multi-scale architecture of mammalian sperm flagella (EMBO J 2021)\, structural specialisations of the sperm tail (Cell 2023)\, structural diversity of axonemes across mammalian motile cilia (Nature 2025)\, and in-cell structures at the mitochondria– cytoskeleton interface in sperm (PNAS 2021). Zeev-Ben-Mordehai is a recipient of a Wellcome Trust and The Royal Society Sir Henry Dale Fellowship (2015)\, NWO START-UP (2018)\, ERC-consolidator grant (2023) and an NWO-Vici grant (2025). \n\n\n\nHost; Luca Jovine luca.jovine@ki.se

SUMMARY:Från genetisk data till behandling: hur bygger vi en jämlik cancervård i hela landet?
DESCRIPTION:Beskrivning av samhällsfrågan \n\n\n\nPrecisionsdiagnostik flyttar fokus från var cancern sitter i kroppen\, till tumörens genetiska profil. Men avancerad testning kräver specialistkompetens och strukturer för tolkning av stora datamängder. Hur säkerställer vi jämlik tillgång till rätt testning och rätt behandling i hela landet? \n\n\n\nRead more\n\n\n\nUtökad information om evenemanget\n\n\n\nMolecular Tumour Board (MTB) är en central funktion i modern cancervård där multidisciplinära expertteam tolkar komplex genetisk information för att kunna välja rätt behandling till rätt patient. Men tillgången till både avancerad genetisk testning och till expertis inom MTB varierar i landet. Detta riskerar att förstärka ojämlikheter i cancervården och försvåra implementeringen av precisionsmedicin i klinisk praxis. Hur säkerställer vi att alla patienter får tillgång till rätt diagnostik\, rätt tolkning och rätt behandling – oavsett var de bor? Seminariet sätter fokus på det strategiska vägval Sverige står inför: • Hur ser vi till att MTB blir en nationell angelägenhet avpassad efter regionala behov? • Vilka investeringar krävs i infrastruktur\, kompetens och datahantering? • Hur säkerställer vi att innovation omsätts i faktisk patientnytta – för alla\, inte bara för vissa? Diskussionen samlar beslutsfattare\, vårdgivare och experter för att identifiera konkreta vägar framåt. \n\n\n\nMedverkande\n\n\n\nMedverkande \n\n\n\nAnders Edsjö\, Överläkare\, Sektionschef klinisk patologi\, vice föreståndare GMS\, Region Skåne\, GMS \n\n\n\nJanne Lehtiö\, Professor\, Karolinska Institutet\, SciLifeLab \n\n\n\nEdvard Abel\, Centrumföreståndare\, PI FOCU.SE-trial\, Sahlgrenska CCC \n\n\n\nPernilla Grillner\, Verksamhetschef Högspecialiserad vård Astrid Lindgrens Barnsjukhus samt forskare \, Karolinska Universitetssjukhuset\, Karolinska Institutet \n\n\n\nDaniel Ågren\, Personalised Healthcare Lead\, Roche \n\n\n\nJohanna Svensson\, Verksamhetschef\, RCC Väst \n\n\n\nRichard Rosenquist Brandell\, Professor\, överläkare (moderator)\, GMS\, Karolinska Institutet\, Karolinska sjukhuset  \n\n\n\nNicklas Sandström \, Oppositionsregionråd\, Region Västerbotten \, M \n\n\n\nSusanne Dieroff Hay\, Förbundsordförande\, Bröstcancerförbundet \n\n\n\nRachel de Basso\, Regionråd \, Region Jönköpings län\, S \n\n\n\nJonas Claesson\, Hälso- och sjukvårdsdirektör \, Västra Götalandsregionen

SUMMARY:AI och hälsodata – går vi äntligen från vision till verklighet i cancervården?
DESCRIPTION:Beskrivning av samhällsfrågan \n\n\n\nAI och avancerad dataanalys kan bidra till tidigare upptäckt\, mer träffsäkra behandlingsbeslut och bättre uppföljning i cancervården. Men i dag hindrar fragmenterade IT-system\, otydliga regelverk och begränsad datadelning utvecklingen. Hur skapar vi en mer datadriven cancervård? \n\n\n\nUtökad information om evenemanget\n\n\n\nCancer är en av vår tids största folkhälsoutmaningar och antalet cancerfall väntas öka i takt med en åldrande befolkning. Samtidigt utvecklas nya diagnostiska metoder\, behandlingar och datadrivna verktyg i snabb takt. För att dessa innovationer ska komma patienter till nytta behöver vården kunna använda hälsodata mer effektivt\, säkert och strukturerat än i dag. Sverige har goda förutsättningar genom nationella register\, hög digital mognad och stark forskning. Trots detta finns betydande hinder för hur hälsodata kan delas\, analyseras och användas i klinisk verksamhet\, kvalitetsuppföljning och forskning. Bristande interoperabilitet\, otydliga regelverk och fragmenterade IT-system gör att potentialen i AI och avancerad dataanalys inte utnyttjas fullt ut. Seminariet diskuterar hur AI och bättre användning av hälsodata kan bidra till tidigare upptäckt\, mer individanpassad diagnostik och bättre behandlingsbeslut – och hur Sverige kan dra nytta av initiativ som European Health Data Space. \n\n\n\nRead more\n\n\n\nMedverkande\n\n\n\nNinnie Borendal Wodlin\, Vårddirektör \, Region Östergötland \n\n\n\nPäivi Östling\, Docent\, SciLifeLab \n\n\n\nKarin Liljelund\, Patientföreträdare\, Lungcancerföreningen\, Patientrådet FOCU.SE-trial\, Patientrådet Karolinska  \n\n\n\nUlrika Nyberg\, Head of Strategic Partnerships\, Mavatar \n\n\n\nLisa Kirsebom\, Moderator \n\n\n\nFredrik Lindén\, Seniorkonsult\, CoCentric

SUMMARY:From Folding to Function: How Trafficking Receptors Shape Membrane Protein Biogenesis
DESCRIPTION:From Folding to Function: How Trafficking Receptors Shape Membrane Protein Biogenesis.Speaker: Prof. Simion Newstead from Oxford University \n\n\n\nMembrane proteins perform essential cellular functions\, but before they reach their final destination\, they must fold correctly and pass stringent quality control in the endoplasmic reticulum (ER). How cells coordinate membrane protein folding with selective export from the ER remains poorly understood. In this seminar\, I will discuss recent structural and mechanistic insights into the role of trafficking receptors in membrane protein biogenesis. Using cryo-electron microscopy alongside biochemical and cell-biological approaches\, we show how cornichon trafficking receptors recognise membrane-protein cargoes\, remodel the surrounding membrane\, and recruit the COPII machinery to drive ER export. These studies reveal trafficking receptors as active regulators of membrane protein maturation and provide a structural framework for understanding how membrane proteins are assembled and trafficked within the cell.

SUMMARY:“The times they are a-changin”*: from transparency\, to safety and scientific integrity\, how is the race to AGI changing our scientific values?
DESCRIPTION:Heidi Howard \n\n\n\nNBIS and SciLifeLab Data Centre arrange an open SciLifeLab AI Seminar Series aimed at knowledge-sharing about Artificial Intelligence and applications in the Life Science community. The seminar series is open to everyone. The seminar is run over Zoom on the third Friday of the month during academic terms\, typically between 10 and 11 am\, with approx. 45 min presentation and 15 min discussion. \n\n\n\nWhen: August 21\, 10:00-11:00 \n\n\n\nWhere:  Zoom http://meet.nbis.se/ainw \n\n\n\nSpeaker: Heidi HowardSenior Researcher\, Industrial Biotechnology\, Chalmers and ELSI lead at Scilifelab and DDLS \n\n\n\nAbstract \n\n\n\nThe general question I am currently working on is: where do values like transparency\, accountability\, scientific integrity\, replicability of science\, respect for copyright\, respect for privacy\, and respect for the planet fit into the current rush to develop Artificial General Intelligence?  \n\n\n\nIt does not take graduate work in ethics to see that in the last four years since OpenAI launched GPT-3.5 and that a number of other big and not-so-big players have spent loads of money\, time\, and GPUs/CPUs on developing large language models (LLMs\, some supposedly on their way to AGI)\,  that  these values are being eroded. Many (most?) of the decisions are being taken by a few companies holding an inordinate amount of power\, and these shifts are potentially being normalised by expert and lay publics who may not know or feel they have any influence to push against the wave of change.  Based on examples taken from past (public) work developing evaluations of large language models for bioweapons information risks and some of my current work on the public discourse around the benefits and risks of developing A(G)I\, this presentation will address scientific and ethical details that are easily overlooked in the current A(G)I rush. \n\n\n\n*song title by Dylan B/Zimmerman RA.

SUMMARY:Lipid regulation of TRP channels: More than meets the eye
DESCRIPTION:For the fall’s first Spotlight seminar\, we are happy to welcome Professor Ute Hellmich from the Faculty of Chemistry and Earth Sciences\, Institute of Organic Chemistry and Macromolecular Chemistry (IOMC) at Friedrich-Schiller-Universität Jena \n\n\n\nAbstract\n\n\n\nCells rely on membrane receptors to detect and integrate diverse environmental signals. Ligands such as small molecules\, peptides or ions trigger conformational changes that regulate downstream signalling cascades. This classic\, 3D-centric view is challenged by the finding that nearly half of the human proteome is predicted to be intrinsically disordered. \n\n\n\nMany membrane receptors\, including most Transient Receptor Potential (TRP) channels\, contain large intrinsically disordered regions (IDRs) whose dynamic nature has severely hampered structural characterization. Therefore\, the contribution of IDRs to signal sensing remains poorly understood and the structural dimensions of TRP channels are notoriously underestimated. \n\n\n\nHere\, using an integrated structural biology approach\, we show that disordered channel regions contribute to multipartite signalling networks of plasma membrane and lysosomal TRP ion channels and play crucial roles in lipid-dependent functional regulation. This work thus provides a conceptual blueprint how complex membrane receptors are regulated by

SUMMARY:[The Svedberg seminar] - Genome-scale screens to program new T cell states for next-generation immunotherapy
DESCRIPTION:Neville Sanjana\n\n\n\nProfessor New York University\, USA \n\n\n\nBio\n\n\n\nNeville Sanjana\, PhD\, is a Core Faculty Member at the New York Genome Center and Professor of Biology\, Neuroscience and Physiology at New York University. Recent work from his lab identified synthetic cell programs to enhance cell and gene therapies and developed new methods to identify causal noncoding variants and their target genes at scale. Dr. Sanjana is a recipient of the Presidential Early Career Award for Engineers and Scientists\, AAAS Wachtel Prize for Cancer Research\, the NIH’s New Innovator Award\, the Cancer Research Institute Technology Impact Award\, the DARPA Young Faculty Award\, the Kimmel Scholar Award\, the MRA Young Investigator Award\, and also is a Leichtung Family Investigator of the Brain and Behavior Foundation. \n\n\n\nGenome-scale screens to program new T cell states for next-generation immunotherapy\n\n\n\nThe engineering of patient T-cells for adoptive cell therapies has revolutionized the treatment of several cancer types\, but further improvements are needed to increase response and cure rates. T-cell–mediated anti-tumor immunity relies on potent cytotoxic effector function\, whereas durable tumor clearance depends on stemness-driven long-term persistence. However\, endogenous T-cell differentiation programs render these phenotypes mutually exclusive: Effector maturation physiologically depletes the stem-like reservoir. Chimeric antigen receptor (CAR) T cells\, despite their impact on blood cancer treatment\, remain bound by this intrinsic biological trade-off. \n\n\n\nTo identify new genetic programs for effective cell therapy\, we overexpressed ~12\,000 barcoded human open reading frames (ORFs) and measured their impact on proliferation of primary human CD4+ and CD8+ T-cells. When overexpressed\, the top-ranked ORF\, lymphotoxin beta receptor (LTBR)\, induced profound transcriptional and epigenomic remodelling\, increasing T-cell effector functions\, as well as resistance to exhaustion in chronic stimulation settings\, via constitutive activation of the canonical NF-kB pathway. \n\n\n\nUsing this gene\, we develop a novel CAR that decouples effector differentiation from the loss of stemness. Direct fusion of the intracellular domain of the T-cell proliferation driver LTBR to the CD3ζ tail induces a shared pro-inflammatory effector program in both CD4⁺ and CD8⁺ CAR T cells. In the CD4⁺ compartment\, this effector differentiation is accompanied by an overlay of stemness-associated gene modules (TCF7 and LEF1)\, resulting in a superimposed state where pro-inflammatory and self-renewal programs coexist. This dual phenotype is dependent on the CAR configuration and is not recapitulated by LTBR co-expression. In CAR T cells engineered from diffuse large B-cell lymphoma (DLBCL) patients\, the LTBR-fusion CAR sustains tumor suppression after several rounds of repetitive tumor challenge. This lineage-specific phenotype is consistent with clinical observations linking durable remissions to persistent\, effector-competent CD4⁺ CAR T cells. Together\, our CAR engineering approach overrides canonical T cell differentiation constraints to yield dysfunction-resistant therapies\, elucidating the functional basis of lineage-specific CD4⁺ CAR T-cell responses. \n\n\n\nHost: Sanja Vickovic sanja.vickovic@scilifelab.uu.se UU

SUMMARY:Massively-parallel approaches to understand the human noncoding genome and transcriptome
DESCRIPTION:Professor Neville Sanjana\, NYU\, United States \n\n\n\n\n\n\n\nAbstract\n\n\n\nProfessor Sanjana will present recent work from his lab on two topics: variant-to-function challenges in noncoding genomics and the development of RNA-targeting CRISPR screens to pinpoint functional noncoding RNAs.  \n\n\n\nFirst\, since most disease-associated GWAS variants map to noncoding regions\, we combined ancestrally diverse biobanks\, massively parallel CRISPR screens\, and single-cell sequencing to identify 124 target genes across 91 blood trait loci — enabling large-scale characterization of human GWAS variants and mechanisms. This work is part of an ongoing collaboration with Prof. Tuuli Lappalainen (KTH and SciLifeLab).  \n\n\n\nSecond\, while thousands of long noncoding RNAs (lncRNAs) are transcribed\, less than 1% have established roles. Using RNA-targeting CRISPR-Cas13 screens\, we evaluated 5\,500 lncRNAs across five cell lines and identified 788 essential lncRNAs. Most function independently of neighboring protein-coding genes and exhibit dynamic expression during development. Finally\, their expression in primary tumors correlates with patient survival\, highlighting their potential as clinical biomarkers and therapeutic targets. \n\n\n\nBiography\n\n\n\nNeville Sanjana\, PhD\, is a Core Faculty Member at the New York Genome Center and Professor of Biology\, Neuroscience and Physiology at New York University.

SUMMARY:From Messy Data to Clean Datasets: A Practical Introduction to OpenRefine
DESCRIPTION:Messy and inconsistent data is a common challenge in research\, often making it difficult to analyse\, share\, and reuse data effectively. Improving data quality is therefore a key step towards more reproducible research and better alignment with Open Science and FAIR principles. \n\n\n\nIn this session\, we will introduce OpenRefine\, an open-source tool designed to help researchers explore\, clean\, and transform messy tabular data. OpenRefine is particularly useful for working with spreadsheets and datasets containing inconsistencies such as duplicate entries\, varying formats\, or typographical errors. \n\n\n\nWe will begin with a short introduction to the types of data challenges OpenRefine can address\, followed by a live demonstration showing how to work with real data. The demo will highlight key features and how these can be used to efficiently identify and resolve inconsistencies in datasets. \n\n\n\nThe session will conclude with an open Q&A\, providing an opportunity to ask questions and discuss how these approaches can be applied in your own research context. \n\n\n\nNo prior experience with OpenRefine is required.  \n\n\n\nElisavet Torstensson\, SciLifeLab\, Data Steward NBIS- FEGA Sweden Helpdesk Team- Elixir Sweden \n\n\n\nMore information\nThis event is part of the SciLifeLab Open Science seminar series\, an event series by the SciLifeLab Data Centre and NBIS joint Data Management team.The goal of the events in this seminar series is to provide interesting interactive seminars around topics related to Research Data Management and Open Science in general\, and to foster discussions around best practices. \n\n\n\nResearch Data Management (RDM) concerns the organization\, storage\, preservation\, and sharing of data that is collected and analyzed during a research project. Proper planning and management of research data will make project management easier and more efficient while projects are being performed. It also facilitates sharing and allows others to validate as well as reuse the data.Open Science is a set of principles and practices that aim to make scientific research from all fields accessible to everyone for the benefits of scientists and society as a whole. Open science is about making sure not only that scientific knowledge is accessible but also that the production of that knowledge itself is inclusive\, equitable and sustainable. \n\n\n\nThe events are open to everyone working at or affiliated with a Swedish research institute or university. We welcome all researchers\, educational professionals\, staff\, RDM professionals\, and others with an interest in life sciences\, from all university levels. The events are informal and inclusive\, so feel welcome to join and participate in our interesting discussions! \n\n\n\nThe events will be recorded and published openly after the seminars on the SciLifeLab YouTube channel. The slides will be made available at our SciLifeLab Data Repository.More information about SciLifeLab Data Centre and NBIS joint Open Science seminar series: https://www.scilifelab.se/data/scilifelab-data-management-seminar-series/ \n\n\n\nIf you have suggestions for topics or presentations\, please contact us at data-management@scilifelab.seFor more information or inquiries\, please contact us at  data-management@scilifelab.se
