EMBL\u2019s Alumni Association is a good starting point when looking for collaborations and expertise. I had good discussions that I hope will lead to common projects.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><strong>What\u2019s special about your institute\/work?<\/strong><br>The CRS4 (Centro di Ricerca Sviluppo e Studi Superiori) is a multidisciplinary research centre, focussing on the application of technology and computational techniques to the life sciences. It has the most powerful high-performance computing centre in Italy, and a genomic sequencing centre. My group helps to collect and organise data that can be analysed, published and sent to the public databases at EMBL-EBI. We are currently working with the next-generation sequencing group to develop a Laboratory Information Management System (LIMS) that manages projects and tracks samples and experiments. It is being implemented in local laboratories doing metabolomics, chemistry and even archeology.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><strong>Tell us about your time at EMBL-EBI?<\/strong><br>I was one of the first recruits at EMBL-EBI. I learnt how to work with people from all over Europe, about different customs and food like haggis! I learnt the importance of a collaborative spirit which certainly shaped my future in a service-oriented direction.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><strong>How can we enhance these meetings?<\/strong><br>I\u2019d like to know more about the research of other alumni. It would be interesting to add a scientific orientation to the \u2018fun\u2019 event, where we can discuss everyone\u2019s projects, exchange ideas and look at possible collaborations.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><strong>How does the CRS4 celebrate Christmas?<\/strong><br>We share panettone, pandoro and sparkling wine. Do come and visit us, or at least our website: www.crs4.it.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Patricia Rodriguez-Tom\u00e9, one of EMBL-EBI\u2019s first recruits in 1994, is now a group leader at the CRS4 in south Sardinia, headed by EMBL-EBI\u2019s first Director, Paolo Zanella.
