Neil Versel (GenomeWeb) wrote “As genomic tools continue to make their way from the research lab into clinical practice, the recently announced merger between the TranSmart Foundation and the Informatics for Integrating Biology and the Bedside (i2b2) aims to provide researchers and clinicians with an open-source resource that could benefit precision medicine efforts.”
Earlier this month, the two organizations announced their plans to combine into a single foundation focused on providing open-source biomedical software and databases for precision medicine. “We’re creating an entire open-source home for people who want to bring precision medicine into clinical practice,” said tranSMART Foundation CEO Keith Elliston.
