Core--Informatics Facility

信息学共享资源提供数据库、网络和应用程序开发，以支持癌症中心的项目和其他共享资源。信息学小组的目标是提供全面的计算和信息系统支持，以尽可能最有效的方式将rcscarchcrs与南加州大学的技术连接起来，以实现其研究目标。 该小组开发并支持了几个共享资源的应用程序和数据库，包括：DNA测序、微阵列、DNA肽、流式细胞术和健康科学中心核心研究设施管理办公室。它支持癌症遗传学网络、高风险癌症研究诊所和研究课题注册中心。此外，犹他州人口数据库由信息学共享资源维护和增强。网站开发包括临床试验、研究计划、CCSG管理、研究生研究和在线患者教育的网站。信息学公司还为癌症中心网络提供计算机支持、网络管理和安全保障。 预计在即将到来的资助期内的新开发项目包括：临床试验办公室的数据库，该数据库将允许通过研究、应计和监管提交来跟踪患者；一个样本跟踪系统，用于跟踪癌症中心研究界的所有生物标本；以及新兴黑色素瘤计划的数据库系统。 信息学小组的成员在信息学和计算机科学领域拥有丰富的经验，在过去20年中在实验室和临床系统、学术和商业环境中对该领域做出了许多贡献。这项工作遵循行业标准开发方法，并利用现有的最佳工具和其他资源。 根据中心主任和科学项目负责人确定的优先顺序选择项目，以最大限度地支持中心内的研究。

The Informatics Shared Resource provides database, web, and application development in support of the programs and other shared resources of the cancer center. The goal of the informatics group is to provide comprehensive computing and information systems support, cnabling rcscarchcrs to usc technology in the most efficient manner possible to accomplish their research objectives. This group has developed and supported applications and databases for several shared resources including: DNA Sequencing, Microarray, DNA Peptide, Flow Cytometry, and the Health Sciences Center Core Research Facilities Administration office. It supports the Cancer Genetics Network, the High Risk Cancer Research Clinics, and the Research Subject Registry. Additionally, the Utah Population Database is maintained and enhanced by the Informatics shared resource. Web development includes sites for clinical trials, research programs, CCSG administration, graduate studies, and online patient education. Informatics also provides computer support, network administration, and security for the cancer center network. New development projects anticipated in the upcoming funding period include: a database for the clinical trials office that will allow patients to be tracked by study, accruals, and regulatory submissions: a specimen tracking system to track all biological specimens for the research community at the Cancer Center; and a database system for the emerging Melanoma Program. The members of the informatics group have extensive experience in the field of informatics and computer science, having made numerous contributions to the field over the past 20 years in both laboratory and clinical systems, in academic and commercial environments. This work is done following industry standard development methodologies and takes advantage of the best existing tools and other resources. Projects are selected based on priorities established by the center director and the scientific program leaders to best support the research within the Center.
