SMARTbiomed Pioneer Center
SMARTbiomed - Statistical and Computational Methods for Advanced Research to Transform Biomedicine - aims to be an international partner in data-driven medical research.
SMARTbiomed will contribute to the development of new and better methods for collecting and analyzing large-scale data from both Danish and foreign registries and biobanks, thereby shedding light on risk factors, causal relationships, patterns, treatment and consequences within various disease areas, including diabetes, psychiatric disorders and cardiovascular diseases.
Main objectives of the pioneer centre
- To bring together multidisciplinary research teams to develop new methods for analysing biomedical data.
- To develop data platforms and software for biomedical research based on real medical challenges, which are easy to use.
- To establish an internationally leading learning and career environment in health-data research.
SMARTbiomed is anchored at Aarhus University.
The ambition behind the pioneer centre initiative is to establish excellent research units that carry out fundamental research aimed at providing transformative solutions to major societal challenges.
The centres are established at the initiative of the Ministry of Higher Education and Science and developed in close cooperation (and co-financing) between the Minister, the Danish National Research Foundation, the Carlsberg Foundation, the Lundbeck Foundation, the Novo Nordisk Foundation, the Villum Foundation and the universities.
