Big Data Institute (BDI)

Description

The Big Data Institute (BDI) is an interdisciplinary research institute that analyses large, complex, heterogeneous data sets to study the causes, consequences, prevention, and treatment of disease.

BDI researchers develop, evaluate, and implement efficient methods to acquire and analyse information for extensive clinical research studies. These approaches are crucial for identifying associations between lifestyle exposures, genetic variants, infections, and global health outcomes. The BDI is located within the Li Ka Shing Centre for Health Information and Discovery at the University of Oxford's Old Road Campus. Their work employs Big Data techniques that revolutionise the scale and efficiency of large-scale clinical research, encompassing data accumulation, storage, processing, and dissemination.

The BDI collaborates across departmental boundaries and scientific disciplines, supported by technical resources to handle the vast amount of data they generate.
