Advancing Clinico-Genomic Trials on cancer

ACGT logo

 

Advances in post genomic research have created significant opportunities for offering personalized treatment and better health care services to the population at large. At the same time clinical trials have become a bottleneck in terms of complexity, effectiveness and, in their present form, fitness for purpose. In the realm of information technologies on the other hand advances in semantic technologies and grid computing have reached a stage where multi-dimensional applications requiring the combination of heterogeneous data and software resources can be realistically tackled.

ACGT is a European Union co-funded project aiming at developing open-source, semantic and grid-based technologies in support of post genomic clinical trials in cancer research. It addresses clinicians, bio-researchers as well as software developers' needs, providing an open platform where novell and powerful services can be offered and used by practitioners in the field.
