Description

UK Biobank is an international resource for health research, offering access to researchers seeking to understand the determinants of disease. Over the next five years, based on current scientific programmes, the UK Biobank resource will grow to approximately 15 Petabytes of data. UK Biobank researchers have previously downloaded data for analysis within their own environment. The increasing scale of the data requires a new approach to data storage and access that allows researchers to bring their analyses to the data through implementation of a managed informatics platform for data access and analysis.
