Hi MDSC folks, See this email chain for information about a connection Ashok and Nrupen recently made to Herbert Sauro, the Director of the NIH Center for Model Reproducibility<https://reproduciblebiomodels.org/>. Sounds like Ashok and Nrupen will meet with Herbet soon to discuss collaboration opportunities. I highly recommend checking out their website<https://reproduciblebiomodels.org/>, including their page on model and simulation annotation<https://reproduciblebiomodels.org/research/annotation/>.

We’ve been working with models and model repositories for many years. We recently recurated the entire biomodels repositories so it’s probably the most reproducible database of models in any scientific domain. Hunter, could you help set up a zoom meeting with Ashok and Nrupen.

Hi Herbert, Ashok and Nrupen are the leaders of the Model and Data Core for the NIAID MISM Center, https://immunescale.org/<https://urldefense.com/v3/__https:/immunescale.org/__;!!K-Hz7m0Vt54!kiq9FYuWCYTiSMDAYbiBtlR_NhgARuIBaGwTzSbiIXa_bOE7XRQN8dbiQPf19MDOxzimEPDwq6LcHSHy$>. In their core, they are curating models to make them reproducible. I think they would benefit from learning about your center and the tools you are developing for the MSM Community.

It feels like the work being done from NIBIB is very relevant to what we are doing in the Model and Data Sharing Core of MISM.
