We get to know EMBL’s open science champions, in how and why they started their open science journey. Each episode is a starter pack with useful resources and links for applying open science and the FAIR principles in a specific use case.
In the very first episode of The Knowledge Catalyst, Dr. Mahnoor Zulfiqar, postdoctoral fellow at EMBL, shares how she builds FAIR computational workflows to tackle challenges in metabolomics. From identifying unknown compounds using marine-derived metabolites to integrating tools across platforms with Docker and CWL, Mahnoor’s work enhances reproducibility and supports drug discovery. We explore how standardized, interoperable workflows can improve confidence in data analysis—and rebuild public trust in science.
