Larson, Ph.D. Chief Information Ofcer One Mind for Research Increasingly, patient care will rely on integration of highly complex and multifaceted clinical and molecular data, such as clinical genomics and other What You Will Learn n How tranSMART system can enable data sharing and integration among scientists, bioinformaticians, and clinicians n How Thomson Reuters can provide broad ranges of services for tranSMART: installation and confguration, data annotation and uploading of multiple types of data, end-user training, and bioinformatic tool integration n How terminology alignment, data standardization including application of MeSH, MedDRA and CDISC ontologies can be applied to research data n How tranSMART can be integrated into a translational research infrastructure at an academic, nonproft, hospital network, or pharmaceutical company OMICS data. The enormous volume of accumulated data has challenged software developers, scientists, and clinicians because investigators and their work Moderator are separated by therapeutic area and or developmental stage, location of data in large internal siloes, and the need to efciently interpret and analyze data in clinically useful ways. Integration of internal knowledge with external data from open and commercial sources has also proved challenging. The tranSMART Knowledge Management Platform, an open-source knowledge-management platform, has allowed medical and life science researchers to advance translational science and clinical research through information sharing and collaboration. By combining a data repository with intuitive search capabilities and analysis tools, the tranSMART system provides John Sterling Editor in Chief GEN researchers a single self-service web portal with access to phenotypic, omics, and unstructured text-based data from multiple internal and external sources. TranSMART can, for example, help scientists develop and refne research hypotheses by investigating correlations between genetic and phenotypic data, and assessing their analytical results in the context of published literature and other work.
