Case Western Reserve University, Cleveland Clinic and University Hospitals are making their big data even bigger — the three Cleveland-based organizations have partnered to share clinical data to increase researchers' abilities to draw actionable insights.
The Institute of Computational Biology will develop the infrastructure necessary to allow researchers from all three organizations to draw on the data pool to improve care delivery and enhance community health.
"We can collect myriad genetics/genomics data from every one of our patients, but if we don't have the capability to convert that data into actionable information, we have gained nothing," said Paul DiCorleto, PhD, chair of Cleveland Clinic’s Lerner Research Institute. “The Institute of Computational Biology will provide this capability with cutting-edge bioinformatics approaches."
