Thanks Herbert!

I would be happy to set up a conversation. 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.

Dear Ashok and Nrupen,

It was a pleasure meeting you last week.  I’m using this email to introduce you to Dr. Herbert Sauro, who is the contact PI for the NIBIB P41 Center for Reproducible Biomedical Modeling, https://reproduciblebiomodels.org/.

 

Hi Herbert,

Ashok and Nrupen are the leaders of the Model and Data Core for the NIAID MISM Center, https://immunescale.org/.  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.

 

Best wishes,

Grace

Dear Grace,

It was a pleasure to talk to you!!!

 

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. Please connect us with the researchers and any other material you can provide to help us evaluate the fit to what we are doing. Thank you for bringing up this connection!

 

With best regards,

Ashok
