Interview in Basler Zeitung – Life science special supplement (02.09.22), by Alexandra Bucher (edited for length and translated from German).

From biomedical project planning to health data recruitment, from data transfer and analysis to their reuse: discover how the Swiss Personalized Health Network (SPHN) initiative, a project of the Swiss Academy of Medical Sciences and SIB, helps...

Connecting researchers from across Switzerland with biomedical data to foster personalized health: this is the aim of the national secure computing network BioMedIT, set up by the SIB in collaboration with ETH Zurich and the University of Basel.

After setting up the Swiss SARS-CoV-2 data hub, SIB is now co-leading an international project to facilitate open sharing of viral genomic sequences in other countries. Through SIB, Switzerland will thus be sharing its experience setting up and...

For the first time, biomedical researchers can assess the availability of consented datasets over all five university hospitals in Switzerland at once.

Today, the delta variant of the virus dominates the Swiss landscape. This is only possible thanks to an unprecedented sequencing effort. At the heart of the process, a national infrastructure, co-led by the SIB Swiss Institute of Bioinformatics,...

Swiss specialists in data semantics define the national strategy for the interoperability of research data to enable a strong policy of promoting personalised medicine.

Over the past weeks and with the threat of emerging variants growing, pressing calls for an open sharing of SARS-CoV-2 sequencing data were issued by the scientific community. Such sharing would allow fast, representative and large-scale research...

The Swiss Variant Interpretation Platform for Oncology (SVIP-O) was launched by SIB, ETH Zurich and HES-SO to offer a harmonized interpretation of cancer variants to clinicians. SVIP-O, now available in its first public version,

Find out about the current status of the Swiss Personalized Health Network (SPHN) – a project of the Swiss Academy of Medical Sciences (SAMS) and SIB -, its perspectives and goals for the next funding period.

As part of its infrastructure activities, SIB is in charge of BioMedIT, a secure and cutting-edge IT network across Switzerland, designed to support biomedical research and clinical bioinformatics.

Health data from patients are typically generated and stored in a multitude of ways across Swiss hospitals. Making these data both accessible and useful to biomedical researchers is the goal of the Swiss Personalized Health Network initiative...

Thanks to the national initiative Swiss Personalized Health Network (SPHN), Switzerland is currently shifting from a fragmented health data landscape to a coordinated infrastructure enabling personalized health research. But how does this translate...

Personalized healthcare requires a solid foundation; establishing interoperability of biomedical information and building a national infrastructure provides such a basis. It is with this conviction that Katrin Crameri took over the reins of SIB’s...

Today, we present an overview of the BioMedIT project, coordinated by SIB’s Personalized Health Informatics Group, as the first of a series of articles on SIB’s role in the development of a personalized health research infrastructure in...

Fifteen years after its creation, Vital-IT – one of SIB’s largest groups and Switzerland’s earliest bioinformatics core facility – continues to evolve. Find out how the Group is consolidating its position as the reference in bioinformatics for...

The start of a new academic year is always a good time to engage in strategic thinking. What are the major themes for SIB's development? Where will SIB be adding value in the years to come? Following the directions set out in SIB's Roadmap, over...

What we do We are the NEXUS Personalized Health Technologies at the ETH Zurich. Our unit offers highly customizable bioinformatics, biostatistics and software engineering services for projects in the field of biomedical research and development....

What we do sciCORE is a center of competence in scientific computing located at the University of Basel. Over 240 research groups and facilities in the fields of bioinformatics, computational chemistry, physics, biology, medicine, and economics...

What we do SIS is an interdisciplinary bioinformatics and scientific IT support group which builds up computational tools. These tools range from lab databases to reusable framework components that enable and support both data analysis and data...

Focus on the group’s mission The role of the Personalized Health Informatics Group (PHI) is to establish mechanisms enabling nationwide interoperability and responsible sharing of health-related data, in particular in the context of the Swiss...

The National Steering Board of SPHN has recently approved the 15 projects that will help develop the infrastructure required to make health-related data interoperable and shareable across Switzerland.

Update on the Swiss Personalized Health Network (SPHN) Designed to promote the development of personalized health in Switzerland, the SPHN initiative will lay the foundations to foster research projects in this area, including mechanisms...
