Many researchers believe that personalized medicine is a potential solution to the well-known challenges facing the pharmaceutical industry worldwide today. Achieving the full promise of personalized medicine requires a new systems approach to biomedicine that will only be enabled by novel, interoperable IT infrastructures that facilitate simpler data access, data sharing, and enhanced collaboration. This article will describe how the technology developed in the cancer Biomedical Informatics Grid (caBIG) program (http://cabig.cancer.gov/) from the National Cancer Institute (NCI) is already enabling many research organizations to implement personalized medicine approaches for their basic and clinical research programs.
许多研究人员认为,个性化医疗是解决当今全球制药行业所面临的众所周知的挑战的一种潜在方法。实现个性化医疗的全部承诺需要对生物医学采用新的系统方法,而这只有通过新型的、可互操作的 IT 基础设施才能实现,这些基础设施将促进更简单的数据访问、数据共享和增强的协作。本文将描述美国国家癌症研究所(NCI)的癌症生物医学信息学网格(caBIG)计划(http://cabig.cancer.gov/)所开发的技术如何已经使许多研究组织能够为其基础和临床研究计划实施个性化医疗方法。
