Summary
The presentation introduces the Breast Cancer Now Biobank (BCNB) Bio/Health-Informatics team's ambition to enhance biomedical research through a unified, multi-site informatics infrastructure.
The BCNB Bio/Health-Informatics team has developed a web-based platform to integrate clinical and specimen data from both active and legacy BCNTB sites. The infrastructure supports secure, trusted access to longitudinal multi-modal cohort data.
Key features include custom dashboards, an online request system, API-enabled tools such as the Cohort Browser and the Analytics Hub.
By enriching clinical datasets, promoting collaboration, and reducing duplication, the platform maximises the value of samples and accelerates research outputs across BCNB sites.
