ACGT - Evolution of a Semantic Grid Infrastructure

by Alexander Hoppe and Manolis Tsiknakis

ACGT (Advancing Clinico-Genomic clinical Trials on cancer: open grid services for improving medical knowledge discovery) is an Integrated Project funded by the 6th Framework Programme of the European Commission, under the action line ‘Integrated biomedical information for better health’. The overall vision of the project is to become a pan-European voluntary network or grid connecting individuals and institutions, which will enable the sharing of data and tools. This will create a European Wide Web of cancer clinical research with the goal of speeding the delivery of innovative approaches for the prevention and treatment of cancer.
