Opportunities and Challengesof Segmentation of Project

• Opportunities:• Different funding schemes addressable• True clinical studies/trials possible• PM overhead reduced• Focus on core competencies in each (sub-) project

• Challenges:• Overall coordination? Who? NoE? • Delays and dependencies of individual projects

Topics for IT• Goals

• Reduce time to market for diagnostic tests• Offer additional or improved (more personalized) tests to better triage

patients• IT infrastructure challenges

• e.g. SNP development & productization; chip could be updated “permanently” when new SNPs are discovered

• dynamically update (e.g. image derived) disease models• seamless, permanent flow of quality-controlled patient data into research

infrastructure• Open issues

• approval (FDA, MDD, CE label etc)• continuous quality control of data used for model generation • permanent validation of improved models• ‘prove’ monotonically improving accuracy of models/tests

• business models
