Current Projects
Digital Analytical Methods (with ASM)
A collaborative project with Allotrope Foundation to replace manual, error-prone descriptions of analytical methods with standardized, machine-readable digital methods. The digital methods will be built as a reusable, vendor-neutral Allotrope Simple Model (ASM) so they can be exchanged between systems, automated, and linked directly to their results.
Current Projects
Open-Source Instrument Data Converter Repository
Develop and maintain a community-governed, open-source library of converters that transform laboratory instrument outputs into recognized open data standards, eliminating duplicated effort across the industry, advancing FAIR data, and accelerating AI/ML-enabled R&D
Current Projects
In Vivo Efficacy Data Standards
A multi‑stakeholder initiative to create a SEND‑aligned, FAIR‑ready framework that harmonizes in vivo efficacy data across pharma, CROs, and technology providers. The project will deliver interoperable, analysis‑ready, AI/ML‑enabled datasets that address a critical standards gap in non-clinical R&D.
Current Projects
Benchmarks for Natural Language Data Mining with LLMs
Develop comprehensive benchmarks for Natural Language data mining and Scientific Chat applications to facilitate the rigorous evaluation of Large Language Model (LLM) performance across key stages of the data-to-insight pipeline in pharmaceutical R&D, ultimately supporting more effective deployment of AI in drug discovery.
Current Projects
Chemical Exchange Format Committee
The Chemical Exchange Format Committee provides a neutral forum where pharma companies, software vendors, and standards owners can collaboratively tackle chemical data formats and drive standardization.
Current Projects
Minimal Metadata Set (MNMs) for Repurposing Non-Clinical In Vivo Data
The aim of the Minimal MetaData Set (MNMS) project is to establish a collaborative platform connecting biopharma companies, researchers, vendors, and regulatory bodies. This initiative aims to demonstrate that sharing a harmonised minimal metadata set (MNMS) together with raw locomotion data enables fully reproducible analyses across several pharmaceutical partners. We remove biological and protocol variability and focus on the value that rich, FAIR‑compliant metadata bring to data reuse.
Current Projects
Pharmacovigilance Systems and Processes Standards
PS2 is an open, vendor-neutral standards initiative for life sciences safety management spanning pharmacovigilance, vaccine safety, and medical device vigilance, designed to cut implementation costs, ease regulatory compliance, and drive innovation through modular, interoperable technology ecosystems.
Current Projects
In Vitro NAM Data Standards
In Vitro Noval Alternative Methods (NAMs) are human cell-based assays and systems used in biomedical research which represent human physiology, predict clinical outcomes and and reduce, replace or refine the requirements for animal testing in drug discovery.
