About the Symposium
When results of scientific experiments can be replicated by others, it builds trust and confidence in the process. It's a pillar of good science.
What is scientific reproducibility and why is it important?
The inability to reproduce experimental data has resulted in the invalidation of research breakthroughs, retraction of published papers, abrupt discontinuation of clinical studies, and reduced trust in the research and development enterprise. Several articles and studies have indicated more than half of published studies could not be replicated, creating a "reproducibility crisis."
Consensus-based standards and reference materials adopted by the scientific community will lead to better reproducibility and dramatic returns on research funding investments. As host of the Scientific Standards Hub, the Frederick National Laboratory for Cancer Research promotes the wide adoption of standards to increase rigor and reproducibility and greater sharing of data.
Join us and be a part of the solution. Leaders from several scientific fields, including research antibodies, recombinant proteins, genomics, data science, organoids and drug discovery, will come together at this symposium and collaborate with attendees in real time to build and reinforce standards that will enhance reproducibility.
Registration will open in early 2026.
