BY-COVID

BY-COVID will tackle the data challenges that can hinder effective pandemic response. The core aim of the project is to ensure that data on SARS-CoV-2 and other infectious diseases can be found and used by everyone as soon as they are available. BY-COVID will build and expand upon the successful COVID-19 Data Platform, a resource initiated in the early stages of the pandemic and led by EMBL-EBI.

Within this project, Euro-BioImaging will co-lead WP2, “Accessing heterogeneous data across domains and jurisdictions for enabling the downstream processing of COVID-19 and future pandemic episodes data.” Our role will be to ensure valuable imaging datasets are available for reuse in public repositories like BioImage Archive & COVID19 Data Portal to bolster research & support pandemic readiness.
