DDLS Research

Data-driven life science is a field of research that focuses on using data, computational methods and artificial intelligence to study biological systems and processes. This approach includes assembling, sharing, integration and advanced analysis of large amounts of data from diverse sources, including experiments, observations, and simulations, in order to gain a better understanding of how living organisms’ function.

DDLS is anchored at 11 partner organizations across the country, thus formation of active national collaborative communities will be key for the success of the program and its ability to reach to an international level of scientific excellence. It is also a unique opportunity to achieve integration of research activities in data-driven life science across universities. By forming synergistic national networks we expect to see collaborations within each DDLS research area, including data support and computational capabilities, but also cross-disciplinary collaborations across the four research areas. In this way ground-breaking research can develop bottom-up from within the data-driven life science community.
