Joe DeRisi on How the Biohub Will Create Opportunities for Research Collaboration | UC San Francisco

"It’s important to us that all the data that the Biohub produces be available to the broader scientific community without restrictions. As part of that, we have a strong emphasis on open-access publishing and we’re producing novel software tools and interfaces that will allow easy access to data.

Having scientific data and the record of our science progress be easily accessible to all, is in our interest, frankly, because it accelerates and advances the pace of research in ways that traditional paywalls and copyrights merely inhibit."
