Securing genomic data in the cloud to support advances in personalized medicine

Key facts

  • Genecloud¹ is a platform and interface which researchers can use to engage with sensitive genomic data in a managed environment that enforces data access policies.
  • Genecloud is one of the technologies created by InterTrust, a holding company with the goal of interoperability and access to platforms that allow global communication. Their technologies focus on assuring digital security, data privacy, trusted computing and rights management.

Uniqueness

  • Researchers can build pipelines based on an assortment of best-in-class analysis tools that are compatible with custom third-party tools.
  • Sensitive health and genetic data is accessible to responsible parties using the information for advances in science, while ensuring data privacy and legal frameworks are adhered to.

Value

  • Anonymization of data encourages individuals to share genomic data they may previously have been averse to sharing.
  • Researchers are not required to overcome trust barriers with a direct subset of customers and instead can rely on second-party data to provide highly personalized information.

Approach

  • Genecloud is cloud-based software that manages access to sensitive healthcare information including medical and biological data that can be securely accessed by third parties.
