Smartbiomed

The Pioneer Centre for Statistical and Computational Methods for Advanced Research to Transform Biomedicine (SMARTbiomed) is an international centre for medical data science research. The Centre is a research collaboration between University of Oxford, University of Copenhagen and Aarhus University. The Pioneer Centre for SMARTbiomed will support a critical mass of researchers who focus on method and software development for analysis of, and inference from, human health-related massive data, advancing applications in medicine. The core mission of SMARTbiomed is development of statistical and computational methods focussing on causal inference, risk prediction and machine learning. This broad focus is ring-fenced by questions relevant to common complex diseases/disorders and ring-fenced by big data types that are newly emerging for exploitation.
