Distributed data networks such as Sentinel, the NIH Collaboratory, and PCORnet hold great promise for increasing the impact and efficiency of clinical and translational research. But linking multiple sources of data across multiple sites presents unique challenges in terms of governance, data harmonization, and analysis. Join Brad Hammill, of the Duke Clinical Research Institute, and Michele Jonsson-Funk and Tim Carey, of the NC Translational and Clinical Sciences Institute, to discuss three different studies using three different approaches to multi-site claims linkage – and lessons learned from each.

This is part of the Comparative Effectiveness Research (CER) Data Linkage Seminar Series and continues the conversations on improving clinical treatment decisions and public health for diverse populations by integrating electronic health record and administrative claims data in health research. Learn more about CER at NC TraCS.

TraCS Tales of Translation features experienced scientists from academia and industry discussing the many twists and turns that are a part of research careers in the life sciences. Participating scientists will be asked to speak informally about their career decisions and pivot points, what translation means to them, and their advice for early stage researchers. This week's researcher is Tyler Massaro, PhD .

Massaro was at Duke Clinical Research Institute for three years: one as a postdoc working in Alzheimer’s Disease metabolomics, then two as a clinical trials statistician.  He moved to a local CRO called IDDI for a year, and then joined Belgian-owned global biopharmaceutical company UCB as a Senior Biostatistican in May, 2020.

There will be a Q&A session at the end.
