Data FAIRification

How to make life sciences data FAIR

Life sciences thrive on data, but fragmented and hard-to-access datasets can delay scientific advance and innovation What if your life sciences data could be seamlessly connected, AI-ready, and instantly accessible? At Excelra, we make sure your life sciences data is Findable, Accessible, Interoperable, and Reusable (FAIR). Making data FAIR, a process called FAIRification, maximizes the complete potential of data for bioinformatics research and AI-driven analytics to fuel digital transformation.

Excelra’s Bioinformatics Services and Technology Solutions transform fragmented scientific data into AI-ready, structured, and connected datasets. By making data interoperable and compliant with industry regulations, we help accelerate research collaboration and discovery.

Benefits of FAIR data in clinical research

Without a clear strategy for drug discovery data management, valuable insights often remain hidden. This can lead to several challenges:

Excelra’s FAIRification process ensures data is properly organized and structured, making it easily readable for machines. This prepares the data for AI use, accelerating drug discovery and development. At the same time, it reduces data redundancy, lowers integration costs, and mitigates compliance risks, all while enhancing data usability and overall efficiency.

How Excelra enables FAIR data in life sciences

1. FAIR Data Management Solutions for Biotech and Life Sciences

With our expertise in bioinformatics, we help transform your research data into clear, connected, and actionable insights that facilitate scientific discoveries.

  • Omics Data Management – Organizing and integrating genomics, transcriptomics, proteomics, and metabolomics data for AI-driven research.
  • Biomarker & Target Discovery – Improving patient selection and precision medicine through the use of FAIR-compliant datasets.
  • Clinical & Real-World Data FAIRification – Getting electronic health records, clinical trials, and patient data ready for optimized use and advanced analytics.

2. Data engineering & technology services

Our technology-driven FAIRification process simplifies the access, integration, and management of data. It works well on both cloud platforms and internal systems.

  • Master Data Management & Data Standardization – Ensuring consistent use of both structured and unstructured life sciences data.
  • Semantic Web & Knowledge Graphs – Building data models based on ontology to enhance scientific understanding.
  • Metadata Management & Interoperability – Using FAIR metadata standards (such as RDF, JSON-LD, and schema.org) to make data easier to find and ensure compliance with best practices.

3. AI-Ready and Machine-Readable scientific data

Our FAIRification framework supports AI-driven research and automation by ensuring that data is:

  • Easy to Read and Link – Enabling the use of Natural Language Processing (NLP) for efficient identification and extraction of information from scientific literature.
  • Works with Different Platforms – Facilitating data sharing between Electronic Lab Notebooks (ELNs, Laboratory Information Management Systems (LIMS), cloud databases, and analytics tools.
  • Secure and Compliant – Adhering to industry standards and regulations such as CDISC, HL7/FHIR, GDPR, and HIPAA.

Whitepapers

FAIR Data in Biopharma: An Excelra Perspective

In this whitepaper, Poulami Chatterjee outlines how biopharma organizations can transform vast, complex R&D data into a strategic asset using FAIR principles—Findable, Accessible, Interoperable, and Reusable. By adopting Excelra’s three-pillar framework of Data Enrichment & Ontology Harmonization, Metadata Automation, and Semantic Integration, life sciences teams can streamline regulatory compliance, enhance AI/ML readiness, manage real-world data, and reduce inefficiencies from “dark data.” The paper highlights measurable benefits, including faster submissions, improved model performance, and increased research impact, emphasizing that FAIR adoption is now essential for operational efficiency, innovation, and competitive advantage in AI-driven R&D.
