Why was MyResearch created?

• Conceived and developed here at UCSF after repeated thefts of research computers and laptops not properly encrypted, and frequently containing patient and other sensitive data and information.

• Developed to serve as a powerful, yet convenient, collaborative, and affordable tool to facilitate the research process for UCSF investigators, their research teams and non-UCSF collaborators.
