Join the Johns Hopkins Institute for Clinical and Translational Research on Thursday, Nov. 20, at 2 p.m. for its next Third Thursdays with the ICTR lecture to learn about OpenSpecimen. OpenSpecimen is a biospecimen information management system that serves as a scalable solution for biorepositories and also meets the needs of a broad group of investigators and biobanks.
OpenSpecimen:
- enables annotation of research and clinical data, specimen and derivative tracking, event monitoring, and Epic-enabled patient lookup
- provides a scalable solution for managing biospecimen metadata
- is recognized as a Tier A best practice by the Data Trust's Research Sub-council for storing biospecimen metadata, including PHI
Speaker Bob Lange, project leader for the ICTR Informatics Core will provide a high-level overview of OpenSpecimen functionality and show real-world examples of OpenSpecimen workflows used at Johns Hopkins.
