Workshop: Clinical Research Informatics Solution Days, Dusseldorf 26-27 May 2014

A two-day workshop “Clinical Research Informatics’ Solution Days” will be held on 26th & 27th May in Duesseldorf, Germany.

It has been organised by ECRIN and other EU-funded projects (TRANSFoRm, EHR4CR, p-medicine, BioMedBridges and ECRIN-IA) to bring together experts, users and innovators from the clinical research domain.

During the workshop an overview of IT-tools and services for modern Clinical Studies will be given. The tools and services will also be demonstrated in interactive hands-on sessions.

Aim of the workshop

The workshop will aim to give interested persons an overview on solutions to improve clinical trials developed by EU funded projects or infrastructures. In interactive sessions, developers will demonstrate their tools. The usability, maturity and benefit for clinical trials will be evaluated and discussed. The targeted audience ranges from software developers to potential users as well as clinical researchers and trial specialists from academia and industry in charge of managing, planning and performing clinical trials.

Highlights

  • Tools and services for trial data management (CDMS)
  • CDMS for personalised medicine
  • Tools for protocol feasibility and patient identification and recruitment
  • Imaging tools for clinical research
  • Biobanking tools for clinical research
  • Tools for study registration/ access to published trial data
  • Bridges between experimental and clinical research data
  • This workshop is free of charge

Presentation at e-Science Workflows Workshop, Budapest

The TRANSFoRm Zone Model of data privacy was presented at the e-Science Workflows Workshop (Thursday 09 February 2012 – Friday 10 February 2012) in Budapest. ECRIN has been invited by EGI (European Grid Initiative) to present a research problem where workflow, cloud and grid technologies could be a solution. EGI is searching for potential users of their Grid services coming from the health research domain.

Therefore, for the e-Science workshop, Dr. Wolfgang Kuchinke presented the TRANSFoRm privacy model: here the different data access, pseudonymisation, anonymisation, aggregation and encryption operations of the data flow from the care zone to the research zone could be done by workflow systems and the grid in the background of the clinical trial process. The workshop took place in the MTA SZTAKI (Hungarian Academy of Sciences) building in Budapest.
