Description:
Translational research studies often leverage heterogeneous data from disparate sources including patient electronic health record, survey, and genomic data. In collaboration with key Penn translational investigators and the Penn Medicine Biobank (PMBB) (below), we are providing informatics support and developing infrastructure to support the needs of the Penn community. More recently, we have deployed Carnival, a graph-based data wrangling tool, to enable PMBB participant data harmonization, deep phenotyping, cohort exploration, case-control cohort matching, and research data set generation.
