Renato Alves: Open-source community building power reproducible and collaborative science
In this episode of The Knowledge Catalyst, we explore open science in practice through the journey of Renato Alves, a biologist-turned-bioinformatician and Senior Bioinformatics Community Manager at EMBL. Renato shares how open-source values, reproducible research, and thoughtful community management help bridge the gap between lab work, data, and code. The conversation highlights the human and technical foundations needed to foster collaboration, lower barriers to participation, and sustain open science in modern life science research.

Mahnoor Zulfiqar: Tackling the bottleneck in metabolomics with a FAIR computational workflow.
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.For the accompanying resources, please visit: https://www.embl.org/about/info/open-science/mahnoor-zulfiqar-tackling-the-bottleneck-in-metabolomics-with-a-fair-computational-workflow/
