From ‘Where to FAIR’: Curating and Pre-processing the AddNeuroMed Dataset

// From ‘Where to FAIR’
Curating and pre-processing the AddNeuroMed dataset 

AddNeuroMed (ANM) was a public private partnership that established a longitudinal cohort from six different sites across Europe to develop and validate biomarkers in Alzheimer’s disease (AD). Colin Birkenbihl, a bioinformatician at Fraunhofer Institute for Algorithms and Scientific Computing (SCAI), painstakingly curated this extensive dataset to fulfill the principles of FAIR (Findable, Accessible, Interoperable, and Reusable) science.

Open Science and Available AD/ADRD Research Data

Learn more about the NIA’s efforts to expand the use of open science through an array of new translational infrastructure programs. These programs – including AMP-AD and affiliated target discovery consortia (M2OVE-AD, Resilience-AD, and Psych-AD), and the MODEL-AD and TREAT-AD centers — operate under open science principles — to rapidly deliver data, knowledge, and research tools necessary to overcome key barriers to developing effective therapies for Alzheimer’s  disease and related dementia.
