Abingdon Science Park: revolutionising health care through collective intelligence in Oxford

Collective intelligence revolutionising health care at Abingdon Science Park

High tech R&D environment

An inspiring environment for Life Science and Health innovation

Abingdon Science Park, located in the heart of Oxfordshire’s Science Vale, is a thriving innovation hub for life sciences and health. Positioned near Oxford University, renowned for its world-leading medicine faculty, the park attracts top scientific, research, and high-tech organisations. Supported by Oxford Science Enterprise (OSE), the Oxford University accelerates groundbreaking science from start-up labs to the global stage, driving demand for access and accommodation in this dynamic region of economic growth and innovation.

Collaboration

Collaborative nature to collectively improve algorithms

Collaborations in AI-driven research unite diverse expertise, from molecular biologists to computational engineers, enhancing algorithm quality through larger training datasets. The Oxford Big Data Institute aims to create and analyse these extensive datasets to uncover disease mechanisms. However, data sharing in medical research poses challenges, as hospitals cannot share identifiable patient information. To address this, the Institute has developed a device to decouple research data from personal details, facilitating safer data sharing. If successful, this technology could streamline the creation of large datasets essential for advancing AI-based health technologies without compromising data protection laws.

Strong network of local expertise

AI research flourishes through interdisciplinary collaboration among universities, hospitals, and industry, ensuring access to a diverse skill set and expertise. In the Oxford area, such partnerships are common, with institutions like the NIHR Oxford Biomedical Research Centre, John Radcliffe Hospital, Oxford Brookes University, and various University of Oxford research institutes nearby. This strong local network fosters innovation in AI and genomics. Additionally, access to facilities for computational and wet lab research is crucial.
