RD-CONNECT: An integrated platform connecting registries, biobanks and clinical bioinformatics for rare disease research (RD-CONNECT)

Start date: Nov 1, 2012, End date: Oct 31, 2018,

Despite examples of excellent practice, rare disease (RD) research is still mainly fragmented by data and disease types. Individual efforts have little interoperability and almost no systematic connection between detailed clinical and genetic information, biomaterial availability or research/trial datasets. By developing robust mechanisms and standards for linking and exploiting these data, RD-Con ...
