NASA opens HBISS seminar series to public and OSDR-AWG in April 2025

NASA’s HBISS (Horizons in Biosciences & Informatics Seminar Series) is a monthly seminar series that ran internally from March 2022 through February 2025 and was opened to the public and the broader Open Science Data Repository’s Analysis Working Group (OSDR-AWG) beginning in April 2025.

The series is intended to foster interdisciplinary conversation, education, and collaboration by inviting experts in biosciences and informatics to speak once a month and engage with members of the OSDR-AWG and the public to discuss research, techniques, and methodology. The April 25, 2025 session listed as open to the OSDR-AWG is titled "Precision Medicine through Leveraging Clinical and Molecular Data to Advance Women’s Health" and is presented by Marina Sirota and Tomiko Oskotsky, UCSF.

Prior sessions held internally to NASA included "Towards Cardiac Digital Twins: Using Models to Improve Monitoring, Forecasting, and Understanding of the Heart" (Feb. 14, 2025) by Steven Niederer; "Single-Cell, Multi-Omic Spatial Profiling and Commercial Human Spaceflight" (Jan. 17, 2025) by Luciano Martelotto, Jasmine Plummer, Christopher Mason and Jiwoon Park; and "Anonymous Synthetic Data Era, No Reason to Risk Patient Re-Identification" (Dec.
