Scientists collaborate at the January 2018 NCATS Data Hackathon

The Biomedical Data Translator Consortium Announces Publication of Companion Pieces

RENCI ∙ 11/15/2018 ∙ Biomedical Data Translator

The newly formed Biomedical Data Translator Consortium announced the release of two inaugural publications in Clinical and Translational Science. The first paper, “Toward a Universal Biomedical Data Translator,” describes the efforts of the Consortium to develop a ‘Translator’ system designed to integrate a variety of data sources and translate the data into insights that can drive innovation and accelerate translational research. The second paper, “The Biomedical Data Translator Program: Conception, Culture, and Community,” focuses on the scientific community that has coalesced to support the program and drive research and development of the prototype Translator system.
