# DATA Biosphere #  It all started with a blog post in 2017. Josh Denny (Vanderbilt), David Glazer (Verily Life Sciences), Robert L. Grossman (University of Chicago), Benedict Paten (University of California at Santa Cruz), Anthony Philippakis (Broad Institute) were working together in support of multiple flagship scientific initiatives. They laid out a vision for the next generation of biomedical research, a common desire to build an open, compatible, and secure approach to data within the larger research community. We are creating a vibrant ecosystem of interoperable modules and data environments for the biomedical community.
