Globus Sessions and Presentations
Join one of our sessions at Bio-IT World 2023:
Workshop
Date: May 16, 2023 1:45-3:45 p.m. ET
Speakers: Brigitte Raumann, University of Chicago, Globus and Vas Vasiliadis, University of Chicago, Globus
Title: W8: Automating Instrument Data
Instruments including cryo-EM systems, light sheet microscopes, gene sequencers, and X-ray beam lines play a critical role in biomedical research, where discovery is driven by analysis of increasingly large datasets. Managing the data generated by these instruments is complicated and time-consuming, presenting challenges for both the facilities who operate the instruments and the researchers who use them. Instrument facilities want data off their machines as quickly as possible, and require management tools that can scale to many users with very large datasets; they also need automation capabilities to offload routine data management tasks, saving time and money. And researchers just want their data as quickly as possible, so they can get to the job of analyzing the data, sharing it with collaborators, and publishing it to communities and data repositories. The common need is end-to-end solutions that streamline data management throughout the research data lifecycle. In this workshop, we will demonstrate a fast and reliable way to address these challenges via Globus.
Software Applications and Service track
Date: May 18, 2023 10:25-10:55 a.m. ET
Speaker: Brigitte Raumann, University of Chicago, Globus
Title: Building Robust Data Management into Life Sciences Applications
Research data portals, science gateways, data commons, and web applications need scalable, secure data management solutions. The Globus platform as a service enables application developers to provide robust file transfer, data sharing, search, and automation capabilities within their own life science research data applications and services, while leveraging advanced identity management, single sign-on, and authorization capabilities. The platform is built on widely adopted industry standards such as OAuth and OpenID Connect for authentication/authorization, and uses trusted protocols such as GridFTP and HTTPS. By outsourcing research data management to Globus, developers can focus their efforts on core application logic.
Cloud Computing track
Date: May 18, 2023 11:25-11:55 a.m. ET
Speaker: Vas Vasiliadis, University of Chicago, Globus
Title: Unifying Access in Multi-Cloud Research Environments
Life sciences research environments are rapidly evolving to incorporate increasingly diverse cloud storage and computing resources. Using these multi-cloud environments efficiently requires researchers to integrate multiple components and become familiar with their unique access methods. We present a platform that unifies access to diverse storage and compute resources, both cloud-hosted and on premises, and demonstrate how familiar interfaces allow users to focus on their research and not on technology management.
