Since July 2015, CRS4 has become a Member of the Global Alliance for Genomics and Health-GA4GH. The Global Alliance for Genomics and Health was formed to help accelerate the potential of genomic medicine to advance human health. It brings together over 300 leading institutions working in healthcare, research, disease advocacy, life science, and information technology. The partners in the Global Alliance are working together to create a common framework of harmonized approaches to enable the responsible, voluntary, and secure sharing of genomic and clinical data.
CRS4 will contribute its experience in data intensive and biomedical computing.
The activities of CRS4 in this field range from the development of application toolsets for the analysis of large-scale collections of genomic data to the development of semantic-aware interconnections to clinical data systems.
