Cancer Informatics

癌症信息学核心(CIC)提供服务、系统和工具，帮助研究人员将临床表型和其他研究数据联系起来，主要侧重于： 临床信息学-通过这一核心的临床信息学服务包括识别、提取、转换和解释临床数据，无论是作为常规护理的一部分还是通过研究活动捕获的。 CaBIG咨询和部署-CIC提供有关caBIG技术和工具的咨询服务，并协调UMCCC参与caBIG计划(例如，部署caTISSUE以解决与生物检验库相关的问题)。 生物信息学-生物信息学服务包括方法学咨询和技术的适当应用，各种分析方法，以及综合多个实验的分析。CIC的大部分活动都利用了密歇根大学医疗系统(UMHS)中较大的IT服务提供商。虽然CIC与密歇根大学卫生保健系统的IT员工总数相比很小(2010年CIC有3个全职员工，2011年将增长到9个，而密歇根大学卫生保健部门的IT员工超过800人)，但通过与其他更大规模的现有资源的杠杆互动，其影响得到了显著放大。因此，信息中心坚持既定的和新兴的标准，并在可能的情况下使用由CABIG和CTSA等国家合作项目开发的软件。UMHS的许多单位提供可供UMCCC研究人员使用的IT服务。尽管从理论上讲，中投是一个有7年历史的机构，但它目前的配置只有一年多一点的历史。

The Cancer Informatics Core (CIC) provides services, systems and tools to assist researchers In linking clinical phenotypes and other research data, with primary emphasis on: Clinical Informatics - Clinical informatics services through this core Include the identification, extraction, transformation, and interpretation of clinical data, whether captured as a part of routine care or through research activities. caBIG consulting and deployment - The CIC provides consulting services regarding caBIG technology and tools and also coordinates UMCCC's involvement with the caBIG program (for example, deploying caTISSUE to address issues associated with biospecimen repositories). Bioinformatics - Bioinformatics services include consulting on methodology and appropriate application of technology, a variety of analytical methods, and Integration of analysis from multiple experiments. The majority of the CIC's activities leverage larger IT-service providers in the University of Michigan Health System (UMHS). Although the CIC is small compared with the total UMHS IT staff (the CIC had 3 FTEs in 2010, and will grow to 9 in 2011, compared to more than 800 IT staff across UMHS), its effect is substantially magnified through leveraged Interactions with other, much larger existing resources. Accordingly, the CIC adheres to established and emerging standards and, where possible, uses software developed by national cooperative projects such as caBIG and the CTSAs. Many units in the UMHS offer IT services that can be used by UMCCC researchers. Although the CIC Is, in theory, a facility with a seven-year history, its current configuration is just over one year old.
