Description
The purpose of the Data Analysis Unit (UAD) of the Medical Research Institute at Hospital de La Princesa (IIS-IP) is to provide both basic and clinical researchers with support, advice and active collaboration in numerical analysis and visualisation of data from bio areas.
It intends to act as a place where people can make ‘a first consultation’ and receive advice on many subjects. It also gives solid support in the areas where it has extensive and proven experience. Due to the high degree of computing technology in medical equipment, such as, for example, medical histories, records on temporary external, internal or portable monitors, sequencers, etc., it is necessary to use tools and specially designed methodology to treat the increasing amounts of data.
As a result, the UAD plays a key role in the development of research projects conducted in the centre, in many cases multidisciplinary, multicentre, national and international projects.
