U-BRITE Primer
What is U-BRITE
In response to a need for diverse computing support for translational science teams, the Informatics Institute at the University of Alabama at Birmingham (UAB) has developed a prototype platform called UAB Biomedical Research Infrastructure Technology Enhancement (U-BRITE). This platform provides project management functionality, high-volume data storage, access to clinical data, processing of data through custom pipelines, and high-performance computing in an environment that is compliant with privacy regulations.
