Neuroscience Experience
Our neuroscience team offers complex data warehousing and management solutions for biorepositories and clinical trials with multi-modal neuroimaging protocols.
We're currently the data coordinating center for the National Neuro AIDS Tissue Consortium (NNTC), sponsored by the National Institute of Mental Health and the National Institute of Neurological Disorders and Stroke. We make tissue samples and data easily collectible, traceable, and accessible to researchers through the Emmes-managed NNTC website, and we conduct ante- and post-mortem tests on HIV/AIDS patients alongside our data warehousing services. To date, we've collectively generated over 500 publications that have advanced understanding of neurological and psychological disorders in HIV/AIDS patients.
We also support clinical trials testing therapeutics for mild traumatic brain injury, PTSD, stroke, and rare diseases, and we're at the cutting edge of clinical research involving the use of psychedelic substances, such as psilocybin, to treat major depressive disorder and alcohol use disorder. Our niche experience extends to managing trials involving Schedule I drugs, easing the regulatory and logistical burdens of developing such unique interventions.

Big Data and a World of Possibilities
Advancing Clinical Research Through Standardization
Access to standardized research study data opens up a world of opportunity. Since 2012, in our role as the Center for Clinical Research Resources, we've supported the Common Data Elements (CDEs) program sponsored by the National Institute of Neurological Disorders and Stroke (NINDS), which standardizes the collection of investigational data so results can be compared across studies and aggregated into meaningful metadata.
Our key focus is creating common definitions and metadata that enable data sharing among researchers. We're helping NINDS manage the process and work groups that establish CDEs, and we develop, manage, and maintain the NINDS CDE website and database, giving thousands of researchers worldwide access to information on neurological conditions, including general, neuromuscular, stroke, and traumatic brain injury disorders.
We've grown the number of CDEs in the NINDS program to 18,000 across 24 neurological disorders, and there's still more we can do.
