Through the Biomedical Data Translator program, NCATS is leading a unique collaboration between academic and private-sector partners to create a data-mining computational resource that will use many types of biomedical information. When completed, broad access to this resource will help facilitate translational innovation in disease prevention, diagnosis and treatment. During this period, the large collaborative multisite team (including investigators from the 19 different universities/institutions listed below) continued development of this one-of-kind computational resource, examining novel ways to collect, link, model and visualize disparate types of biomedical information to allow new connections to be forged and new scientific hypotheses to be suggested.
