Michigan genomic research lab protects data with de-identifier, multilayer platform

The ability to share large amounts of anonymized human genomic data is important for advancing medicine, but it also raises concerns about data security. Dr. Thomas Kubisiak and his team at the University of Michigan are working on finding genes involved in neurological and psychiatric diseases. They share data internally for insights and follow strict protocols to ensure patient data privacy and security. They use the Genoox platform, which helps apply security policies and facilitates data sharing across the community.
