My work is based on implementing and evaluating the how findable, accessible, interoperable and reusable (FAIR) health research (meta)data collected from cohort studies in Germany is. In 2021 - 2022 I was a Fellow at the FAIRplus Fellowship which greatly enhanced my skills and knowledge in data FAIRification. Now I assess and implement already existing FAIRification workflows into unFAIR datasets. This work has me indulging in fulfilling collaborations with other researchers who are interested data FAIRification. I am also a member of the Virus Outbreak Data Network Implementation Network (VODAN-IN) where participate in the FAIR COVID-19 data initiatives in Africa. In this engagement I led the Kenya team in assessing the readiness of the Kenya digital health space to adopt the FAIR data principles in health research.
