UK Biobank has released an important survey regarding the enhancement of data linkage to other resources — particularly relevant for those in the regulatory sphere.
This represents a strategic opportunity to link UK Biobank’s deep phenotypic and genetic data with external registries, potentially revolutionising how virtual cohorts are validated and built.
UK Biobank is a world-leading biomedical resource of 500,000 UK participants, offering unparalleled genetic, biochemical, lifestyle, and health data. With participants’ consent, they link to their health and health-related records to support research that benefits current and future generations, while maintaining strict data security and confidentiality.
Flagged by the CERSIs, your input will help define the data landscape we work with for the next decade. The survey can be accessed here.
