All our tools are available to FBM UNIL-CHUV researchers to support them in managing their data according to FAIR principles.
To ensure proper implementation and optimal use, PIs must first contact our team. We will assist in setting up and customizing these tools to meet the specific needs of your laboratory. Additionally, we provide personalized training sessions for lab members, ensuring that everyone is equipped to use these tools efficiently and effectively within their research workflows.

Listing
FAIRShare Explorer @DSBU
Decision-support tool that helps UNIL/CHUV researchers identify the most appropriate, standards-compliant repository for sharing their data, with detailed guidance. Link
DataSquid@DSBU for Automated Data Documentation
DataSquid@DSBU is an advanced tool that automates data documentation for experiments by integrating with equipment databases and laboratory protocols, ensuring comprehensive, consistent, and reproducible research documentation. link
BioMetaXtract@DSBU for Metadata Mapping per Modality
BioMetaXtract@DSBU ingests heterogeneous imaging and FACS datasets and harmonizes metadata using modality-specific standards like REMBI, BIDS and MIFlowCyt. It combines raw file parsing, sidecar enrichment, and inference to produce standardized, validated, and deposit-ready outputs, including quality flags and provenance tracking. link
DeepScan@DSBU for automated NAS-UNIL file screening
Optimize Folder Screening for Controls on the NAS-UNIL and Efficient NAS to LTS Workflows. Contents of NAS Project can be systematically controlled to ensure compliance with cleanup and documentation requirements. Link
HORUS CHUV Dataset Catalog
The externally accessible HORUS CHUV dataset catalog is the product of a close collaboration of the DSBU with the Data Science Group – DSI at CHUV. Developed and managed by the Data Science Group – DSI, this catalog the indexing and dissemination of metadata (documentation) that describes the content of sensitive clinical datasets associated to CHUV publications, which cannot be shared due to legal restrictions. link
Data Stewardship Wizard (DSW) for RDM/DMP
The Data Stewardship wizard (DSW) tool developed and maintained by the European Network ELIXIR-Converge, aims to enhance data management practices and promote openness in research link
Polaris for the traceability and management of frozen samples, freezers
The Polaris Hub project, is an entrepreneurial Initiative led by Kevin Gross and Nicolas Gestermannin. Polaris integrated into the DataSquid ecosystem, is a web-based solution for the management, visualization and governance of frozen sample collections and freezer infrastructure, supporting better visibility, coordination and mutualization across the Faculty. link
