Leveraging LIMS for Advancing Cellular Therapies

Cellular therapies are a groundbreaking approach to medicine that utilises living cells to treat various diseases and conditions. Unlike traditional pharmaceuticals, which often target symptoms, cellular therapies aim to address the underlying causes of disease by delivering living cells or modifying a patient’s cells to restore or enhance their function.  Cellular therapies hold immense promise for personalised and precise treatments, offering new hope to patients with conditions previously considered untreatable.

Mapping hierarchical file structures to semantic data models for efficient data integration into research data management systems

In this 2024 article published in the journal Data, tom Wörden et al. describe their approach to simultaneously using relational database systems with with more semantically driven research data management systems (RDMS) while largely keeping the two in synch. The authors use the open-source RDMS LinkAhead and its associated crawler, as well as YAML for synchronization and data mapping. They describe their approach in detail, noting the importance of "identifiables," which they define as "a set of properties that is taken from the file system layout or the file contents, which allow for uniquely identifying the corresponding object in the RDMS." After a brief discussion of their results and the limitations of their approach, they conclude that the practicality of their approach has been demonstrated, with the potential to transfer "the concept to multiple different use cases in order to make the crawler more robust" across a broader spectrum of scientific research settings.
