ELIXIR Pilot: Identifying new drug targets
The Human Protein Atlas portal is a publicly available database with millions of high-resolution images showing the spatial distribution of proteins in 46 different normal human tissues and 20 different cancer types, as well as 47 different human cell lines. http://www.proteinatlas.org

Interoperability of high-resolution protein data at EMBL-EBI and HPA, Sweden
Acceleration towards sustained operations
• Key objectives: • In 2014: Build on success of Interim Phase, formal establishment of
Nodes
• In 2015: Start delivering ELIXIR services, sustain BioMedBridges services
• From 2016 onwards: sustained operations across ELIXIR
9
Industry and Innovation
• Challenge to access and understand services
• EU wide engagement programme - Build on strong local interactions through Nodes!
• Small companies – Big Data
• ELIXIR Cloud for SMEs
• EFPIA and IMI

HPA Gene Ontology UniProt
Europe PMC EGA Expression Atlas
Will the improvement we see in an
LPS-challenged mouse translate to
a measurable clinical benefit?
user data
Data interoperability, vocabulary and ontology services
BioMedBridges Ten new biomedical sciences research infrastructures stronger through common links
• Computational ‘data and service’ bridges between the BMS RIs
• Interoperability between data and services in the biological, medical, translational and clinical domains
• Link basic biological research data with clinical research and associated data
13
Future challenges for life-science data services
Scale and Sustain funding
Distributed infrastructure with >1M users
Algorithms to data – clouds, research environments…
