About Research IT
Mission
Research IT exists to supply infrastructure, tools, and services used by researchers, patients/participants, and clinicians to collect and combine data to make discoveries and to improve human health and wellness.
Team
We are a dedicated group of engineers and research support professionals with a multi-disciplinary background. Many of us have been with Stanford for over a decade. We are passionate about what we do and are excited to participate in your biomedical research endeavors.
Many members of the Research IT team were on the founding team of Stanford Center for Clinical Informatics (SCCI) under Prof. Henry Lowe, Director of SCCI. STRIDE (Stanford Translational Research Integrated Database Environment)was developed under Dr. Lowe's mentorship. We have been building solutions for handling clinical and health-related data since 2008. SCCI became Research IT in 2017 and has undergone the following reorganizations since:
- In Sep 2017, our clinical data vending team (aka Honest Broker service) became part of Research Informatics Center. While Research IT continues to serve Honest Broker role from time to time, our primary focus is infrastucture and software development.
- In Sep, 2019, we became of the unified IT at SoM and SHC, Stanford Medicine Technology & Digital Solutions. The Research IT staff members are now employees and contractors of Stanford Health Care.
Business Partners
Research IT works with a number of external business partners. We especially wanted to show our appreciation to Biarca, Odysseus Data Services and Vertisystems who help us with numerous projects and efforts.
