MIDAS Seminar Series Presents: PRECISION HEALTH – UNIVERSITY OF MICHIGAN

The Precision Health Analytics Platform: data, analytics, and resources for your research

Abstract: Are you a researcher looking for genetic and clinical data, or do you need assistance in data analysis?
Precision Health’s new Analytics Platform is a suite of tools, services, and datasets available to researchers across campus –– resources previously available only to Michigan Medicine faculty and other level-two password holders. The Analytics Platform provides campus-wide access to research tools such as DataDirect and services such as consultation with scientific research facilitators. Join us to learn how to access the Platform and how its tools, services, and datasets can help your research.
