Attend Third Thursdays with the Institute for Clinical and Translational Research

Description

Join the Johns Hopkins Institute for Clinical and Translational Research (ICTR) 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 Subcouncil for storing biospecimen metadata, including protected health information

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.
