Advancing Clinico Genomic Trials on Cancer

ACGT aims to develop a Biomedical GRID infrastructure for sharing Clinical and Genomic expertise.

Core activities of ACGT:

• Integration
  ... of clinical history, medical imaging and genetic data
• Knowledge Grid
  ... distributed mining for knowledge extraction
• Clinical Trials
  ... breast cancer & paediatric nephroblastoma

Supporting the Home Care Process Using ICT

The target group of the TranseCare project consists of people that suffer from a chronic and/or a degenerative illness caused by age. A thorough analysis of the needs of this target group, and the possible evolution of the needs is necessary to take the step to actual “independent living” systems. The research and development of ICT systems supporting the care process for this target group is looked at in this project.

ASsociation Studies assisted by Inference and Semantic Technologies

The main objective of ASSIST is to facilitate the research for cervical cancer through a system that will virtually unify multiple patient record repositories, physically located in different medical centers/hospitals. The unification of participating archives, containing both clinical and genetic data, into a single medical knowledge source will increase research flexibility by allowing the formation of study groups “on demand” and by recycling patient records in new studies. This approach is expected to benefit the study of gynecological neoplasias, whose evaluation requires long-term studies including referral to patients’ antecedents and descendants.

Key Objectives:

• Building an integrated environment for cervical cancer research
• Federate distributed patient record repositories (phenotypic and genotypic)
