ELIXIR is a life science research infrastructure which coordinates a range of bioinformatics and related services across our 23 and growing number of member states. By promoting, integrating and opening these federated services, which are already used by our researchers, OSCARS enables us to build an open science landscape in Europe from the domains where they work.
Jonathan Tedds is the ELIXIR Europe Programme Manager for Scientific Computing. He coordinates the ELIXIR Tools and Compute Platforms and leads on ELIXIR's involvement in the European Open Science Cloud (EOSC), based at our Cambridge Hub. ELIXIR is an intergovernmental organisation (IGO) that brings together interoperable life science resources enabling federated analytics across Europe and beyond. He coordinates ELIXIR's leading AAI access and identity management service, LifeScience Login, and a range of Compute, Tools, Data, Interoperability and Training services on behalf of the ELIXIR Nodes and the Life Sciences RI Cluster. Our Nodes are deploying key services as core components of e.g. the European Genomic Data Infrastructure (GDI). Jonathan is an Honorary Fellow in Research Informatics, held jointly in the College of Life Sciences and the Department of Physics & Astronomy at the University of Leicester. He worked as a postdoctoral researcher in astronomical survey science and co-developed national and international infrastructure in the International Virtual Observatory Alliance. He has led researched data informatics projects including on institutional data management, data peer review and across disciplines e.g. in environmental health. Led (PI) £2m+ funded BRISSKit integrated open source biomedical research software solutions platform since 2011. He has a PhD in astrophysics from the University of Edinburgh.
