Oncological Databases, Knowledge Graphs & HPC
The structured oncology databases, knowledge graphs and compute every other centre depends on.
What this centre does
Every other centre depends on this one. It builds and curates the structured oncology databases and knowledge graphs that connect genes, variants, drugs, trials, pathways and clinical outcomes into a queryable whole, and operates the high-performance computing environment the institution's research runs on.
Clinical & molecular data via OnKommon
Methods
Knowledge-graph construction and curation; ontology and terminology mapping; clinical NLP and information extraction; ETL and data-quality engineering; HPC and workflow orchestration.
Data inputs
Public knowledge bases and terminologies; the institution's clinical records under a defined consent and governance basis; molecular data via OnKommon.
Outputs
Curated research databases; the analytical substrate for every other centre; NLP tooling; infrastructure publications.
Funding route
Infrastructure and data-platform grants; tenders for registries and health-technology work.
What has to be true first
Nothing — it is the only centre that must exist from the start, because it is the precondition for all the others.
