What we do

DIFUTURE Tübingen joined the GO:FAIR PHT Implementation Network  in 2018 as a milestone for distributed FAIR analysis. We developed a productive deployment-ready PHT-meDIC solution to achieve the defined goals from the PHT manifesto. Our architecture and services are fully open source accessible, and demonstrate how modern cloud techniques can be leveraged for complex distributed, privacy-preserving medical data analytics.
