+Our work can be called "Translational Computer Science" as we innovate solutions using state of the art knowledge

+
+Of particular focus in our work is to support practices and methodologies for researchers to follow the [FAIR principles](https://www.go-fair.org/fair-principles/), not just for publishing research data with rich metadata, but for ensuring computational methods can also be shared in a fully described and reproducible manner.
