OESTERLE Sabine

Sabine Österle is the Lead of the Semantic Interoperability Strategy & FAIR Data Team at the SIB Swiss Institute of Bioinformatics. She holds a B.Sc. and an M.Sc. in Interdisciplinary Science from ETH Zurich, where she also earned her Ph.D. within the Department of Biosystems Science and Engineering. Sabine has been a driving force in ensuring that the data processed as part of the Swiss Personalized Health Network (SPHN) complies with the FAIR principles — i.e., that it is Findable, Accessible, Interoperable, and Reusable.

With her team, Sabine oversees the technical development of SPHN tools and services, bridging the gap between various data and research areas, medical informatics, IT, and clinical disciplines. She has been actively involved in the SPHN initiative since its inception and has significantly contributed to national and international efforts related to semantics, data standards, and FAIR data.
