The aim of CO-CONECT is to build the data infrastructure to ensure researchers have the necessary information to answer fundamental questions around how immunity may help prevent future spread of the virus spreads in schools and workplaces, how best to treat it in hospitals, and generally how long immunity lasts.

Led by Philip Quinlan, Honorary professor and Director of Health Informatics at the University of Nottingham School of Medicine and Associate Director at HDR UK, CO-CONECT will ensure the same standards are applied to all data to make the data comparable and usable in research. It will provide researchers with a streamlined, automated infrastructure to assist with work into developing potential therapies and treatments for COVID-19. The system will also protect patient confidentiality and data security, supporting federated anonymised data analysis.

Once available, data from CO-CONNECT will be directly integrated into HDR UK’s Innovation Gateway and available to the UK research community, thus allowing it to be used more widely to support further research projects; and generate more insights that will improve healthcare. 

 

BREATHE is a unique not-for-profit collaboration between patients and the public, universities, third sector organisations and industry from across the UK and globally. It aims to improve repiratory health through better health data in research.

NUH is a partner in BREATHE and Professor Ian Hall, Respiratory Physician and Director of the NIHR Nottingham Biomedical Research Centre, leads the Drug Discovery and Pharmacogenomics theme.

BREATHE supports the use of health data for respiratory research, including academic researchers, charities and third sector organisations, SMEs and larger industry partners.

It is part of a network of Health Data Research Hubs, funded through UK Research and Innovation’s Industrial Strategy Challenge Fund, and coordinated by Health Data Research UK.
