Transforming data into medical research breakthroughs

data science

At Hunter Medical Research Institute (HMRI), we know how valuable data is. We're helping researchers and organisations get the most value from it.

The measurement, collection, storage and utilisation of data has rapidly evolved for organisations over the past few years. The health and medical research field has become more data intensive.

With the sheer volume of data growing and becoming increasingly complex, we rely on more rigorous scientific methods, advanced technology, and data modelling to effectively uncover insights.

Our large and highly experienced Data Sciences team help researchers and organisations apply advanced analytics techniques and scientific principles to extract valuable information from data. 

Leverage the team’s experience working across academic, health, government, industrial and commercial environments to advance your research. 

Our team works across three areas:

Biostatistics

Design, develop and apply statistical methods to medicine, biology, and public health. 

Data Management and Health Informatics

Design and develop systems to capture and manage health information and prepare data for clear reporting and visualisation. 

Bioinformatics and Artificial Intelligence

Using high-performance computing and advanced technology for the analysis and integration of large, complex biological and health datasets.

Biostatistics

Our team of highly trained statisticians help medical researchers and health organisations design studies that ensure the generation of high-quality data.

We then use the best analysis methods and techniques available to turn this data into evidence.

We specialise in the design and analysis of:

  • Phase I, II and III clinical trials
  • Pragmatic trials
  • Observational studies
  • Predictive, prognostic and diagnostic studies
  • Instrument validation studies
  • Evidence synthesis and meta-analysis

From providing the optimal study design and calculating the required sample size, all the way through to analysis and communication of results, our team helps delivers stronger research outcomes.

Data Management and Health Informatics

Our team excels in preparing, managing, and displaying high-quality data for studies and trials, integrating expertise across clinical trials, public health, epidemiology, health science, and psychology.

We enhance the collection, management, storage, and interpretation of health information to drive impactful research outcomes.

Our capabilities include:

  • Design and development of data capture and project management systems (utilising REDCap), including surveys, complex longitudinal databases, clinical trials, and national registries
  • Real-time, interactive dashboards and visualisations of health research data
  • Managing research and clinical trial data with precision and customisation
  • Advice on practical study design, best-practice data collection methods, data privacy concerns, and ethical requirements
  • Comprehensive documentation and data management plans to ensure robust database management and compliance
  • Assistance with access and integration of data from health district, state, and national resources
 

Bioinformatics and Artificial Intelligence

Our team has expertise in combining high-performance computing technology with advanced algorithmic techniques to analyse, integrate and model large, complex biological and health datasets.

We are experienced in bioinformatics, artificial intelligence, machine learning and systems modelling advanced analytical techniques, as well as signal processing, implementation of interactive displays and data exploration applications.

We offer services in:

  • Analysis of all types of biomolecular sequencing data
  • Artificial intelligence and machine learning models: prediction, inference, natural language
  • Complex data integration, clustering and subgroup characterisation
  • Dynamic systems modelling, design and implementation
  • Deep learning models for diagnosis, analysis and knowledge discovery
  • Medical devices data analysis

Our work in data sciences enables:

Trust and confidence in health and medical research data

Robust and repeatable research using advanced statistical techniques

New insights and novel discoveries from large and complex data

Organisations and policymakers to make informed decisions based on research outcomes
