MiCM Project Match

The main objective of McGill initiative in Computational Medicine (MiCM) is to deliver inter-disciplinary research programs and empower the use of Big Data in health research and health care delivery. One of the ways MiCM aims to achieve this objective is to strengthen collaborative research by sharing and transferring knowledge within the community.

In order to realize the potential of Computational Medicine at McGill University, there is a need to better connect researchers in life sciences and clinical domains with researchers and students in the data sciences (e.g., statistics, bioinformatics, medical informatics, computer science, epidemiology). The former has interesting datasets and questions, while the latter can apply or develop quantitative methods to look for solutions to these questions.

To facilitate this type of matchmaking, this project works on a database-driven, lightweight web application, with the purpose of matching McGill research data projects, with masters and doctoral students seeking looking for interesting projects to analyze.
