We hosted an open symposium, RIKEN Symposia: OLSP Symposium 2025 – Present and Future Perspectives of Open Life Sciences – on 27th January, 2025 in Wako, Japan.
Presentations including Dr Onami’s talk are now available for public in our YouTube Channel and the symposium website.
We are thrilled to announce that RIKEN Open Life Science Platform Project (OLSP) will hold its first open symposium, OLSP Symposium 2025 – Present and Future Perspectives of Open Life Sciences –, on January 27, 2025 in Wako.
The symposium will feature the achievements and contributions of the OLSP. We will invite speakers from diverse fields to explore successful case studies, gaining insights into how open science can be effectively applied within the life sciences. During a poster session, participants will have an opportunity to present their research, facilitate discussions and feedback on ongoing projects related to open science, and build connections among participants from various disciplines. This will encourage collaboration and the exchange of ideas that can drive the future of open science.
To find out more and register the symposium, please visit the OLSP Symposium 2025 website.
Our team leader Dr Shuichi Onami is giving a lecture titled “BioImaging database” at the AJACS online 12 on August 25, hosted by JST-NBDC.
This workshop is aimed to educate how to use databases and tools in life sciences as well as introduce activities for databases integration.

SSBD team attended the RIKEN Hackathon FY2019 and developed a software tool in Python that allows the ROI contours of a TIFF image to be saved into BDML/BD5 format using Galaxy workflow. The tool can be used separately from Galaxy.
