Exploring Secure Multi-Party Computation for Clinical Cohort Management: A Feasibility Study

During my stay at the European Bioinformatics Institute (EBI), I had the opportunity to learn from the knowledgeable team and explore their suggestions. I had the chance to understand much more concerning the EBI and especially the European Genome-Phenome Archive (EGA). I will also be able to pursue a search on SMPC now that I had the chance to explore at the EBI. The next step would be to try working on a gene and search for genome-wide possibilities.

CINECA launches a training resource to help researchers learn about accessing and sharing sensitive human data across the world

To help researchers learn about finding, accessing and analysing sensitive human data in a federated fashion, the CINECA project has developed a learning pathway. In this blog, we describe why federated data analysis is important, what is included in the learning pathway and how it can be accessed.

Federated Data Analytics for European Biobanks D5.1

This report details the development of a demonstration tool for CINECA Task T5.1, which integrates WP1-3 CINECA services to advance federated biobank search. UML diagrams and mockups were used to model the search process and create a user interface. The architecture of the system and strategies for accessing and storing data were also described. The report highlights efforts to integrate pre-analytical metadata, which are important for determining the quality of biospecimens, and a synthetic dataset was prepared to develop search services for accessing and visualizing such data. The evaluation of the robustness and search effectiveness of the implemented services is also discussed.

A CINECA deliverable describes the ELIXIR Passport Broker

In the Passport is the glue between the researcher, data and computing blog post I introduced GA4GH Passports as an enabler of “the bring compute to data” paradigm. CINECA WP2 also contributed to GA4GH Passport standard for Digital identity and access permissions publication in Cell Genomics in autumn 2021.

Query Expansion - Introduction

The video is aimed at presenting what is the Query Expansion (QE) and introducing all the QE services developed by WP1.

Query Expansion - Vertical Expansion

The video is aimed at presenting what is the Vertical Expansion, a QE service that retrieves hypernyms and hyponyms aka the parents and the children of a concept in a specific ontology.
