Award Center for Innovations and Bioinformatics wins Bio-IT World Innovative Practices Award in Translational Research

The SigNET Platform enables scientific collaboration, integration, analyses, and distribution of research data across studies and repositories. It generates Unique Clinical Research Identifiers (UCRIs) per Patient per Study per Disease, thus permitting collaboration and sharing in rare diseases, in which utilization of “standard” GUIDs may not be enough to protect identities of patients participating in multiple research projects. UCRIs allow aggregation and prevent duplication of patients’ records, enable integration/sharing of patient information originating in clinical/research silos, and allow automation of searches across multiple repositories. Such innovative approach and technology offer standardized, reliable, and secure way to collaborate across research continuum accelerating discoveries across academia, foundations, and the industry. Several pharma/biotech companies, government agencies, academic consortia, and disease foundations utilize SigNET in clinical trials/studies.
