Working groups

The aim of this commission is to work towards building a more equitable scientific community by: (a) increasing knowledge about the scientific contributions of the female community by promoting the visibility of women at LIRIS, (b) increase communication in the lab to raise awareness on F/M equality questions, and (c) studying women's participation in the data science and artificial intelligence workforce.

We aim at defining novel methods to make genomic annotations and data more interoperable. I co-lead two actions: (1) define a strategy to publicly and permanently store harmonized genomic metadata with Sveinung Gundersen (computer scientist, ELIXIR) and Evan Christensen (PhD in bio-informatics, Univ. d'Utah, CA); and (2) define new models for representing genomic annotations with Sveinung Gundersen and Adam Wright (researcher, Cancer institute of Ontario, USA).

I lead the SCOUT action which aims at facilitating DEI efforts in the database community. My main proposal is a checklist to easily comply with inclusive submission guidelines; it will be integrated into EasyChair and CMT.
