Project
Empowering oncology breakthroughs: a collaborative data ecosystem for cancer research
The complexity of cancer research demands a paradigm shift towards large-scale, international collaborations, uniting diverse expertise to accelerate breakthroughs. Initiatives like those involving the Vall d'Hebron Institute of Oncology (VHIO) exemplify this vital trend, bringing together dedicated professionals to tackle the multifaceted challenges of the disease.
The project supports the integration and harmonization of data across different sources, while also ensuring that data is findable, accessible, interoperable, and reusable in compliance with FAIR principles (Findability, Accessibility, Interoperability, and Reuse). By establishing clear data formats, security protocols, and ethical guidelines, researchers -- including oncologists, geneticists, and bioinformaticians -- can confidently contribute their unique datasets and insights.
"According to Serra, the RAD51 test manages to predict the response to the PARP inhibitors in up to 95% of the cases in comparison to the 67% of HRR gene mutations and 71% of HRD genomics analyses."
Genomcore's platform offers a secure and compliant environment for managing diverse datasets generated by institutions like VHIO and their partners. By streamlining data integration, standardization, and analysis, we empower cancer research professionals to work more efficiently and effectively.
“Participating in this trial will be a great opportunity for patients with germline BRCA1/2 alterations and will allow us to demonstrate in clinical practice the efficacy of using the RAD51 test to identify patients without genetic alterations who may benefit from these drugs.”
We are certified with ISO/IEC standards 27001:2013, 27017:2020 and 27018:2020, ensuring compliance with applicable data protection laws and regulations including GDPR and HIPAA. Genomcore's Biomed platform guarantees ethical surveillance to ensure that the required international and national regulatory approvals are obtained to coordinate the data acquisition, storage and sharing.
