BioGrid Australia - Health through Information

Our new image and branding was launched by the Hon Gavin Jennings on March 5, 2008.  The new look articulates what we do - linking data thereby creating a ‘grid’ of diverse data for research, planning and other services in health.

We dynamically link data which includes dates of diagnosis, clinical symptoms, pathology, radiology reports, and availability of a biospecimen sample, genomic data, MRI images, treatments: drug therapy, radiotherapy and surgical status in a privacy protected way for authorised users.

We have made steady progress with ethics approvals, collaborative agreements, IT implementation and data linkage. We are proud of the collaborator research outcomes that have resulted from this, and some of the current work includes:

• Data mining – looking at patterns and exceptions
• Data analysis – associations between the genetic and clinical data
• Evaluation of clinical services
• Quality and audit reports of Clinical treatment

We welcome our newest members and look forward to helping with more research projects.
