Open-access data resource aims to bolster collaboration in infectious disease research

"...An international team of researchers has launched the Clinical Epidemiology Database, an open-access online resource enabling investigators to maximize the utility and reach of their data and to make optimal use of information released by others. The development of ClinEpiDB has been led by the University of Pennsylvania's David Roos, the E. Otis Kendall Professor of Biology in the School of Arts and Sciences, and Christian Stoeckert, research professor of genetics in Penn's Perelman School of Medicine, along with Jessica Kissinger, distinguished research professor of genetics at the University of Georgia's Institute of Bioinformatics, and Christiane Hertz-Fowler, professor at the University of Liverpool's Institute of Integrative Biology...."
