Case Studies

The QCIF's Data Science team has partnered with the Department of Agriculture, Fisheries and Forestry (DAFF), QUT and Australian BioCommons in a nation-wide project aimed at transforming biosecurity diagnostics.

A research paper comparing over-the-counter sleep monitors with polysomnography, the gold-standard measurement of sleep, was published in a peer review journal with the help of a QCIF biostatistician.

A QCIF biostatistician has played a key role in helping Sunshine Coast University Hospital researchers get their research paper, which looks at the relationship between urinary catheters and infections, published in an international journal.

A longitudinal study evaluating the effectiveness of Evolve Therapeutic Services, a Queensland mental health service for Indigenous and non-Indigenous children and adolescents in care, was published in a peer review journal with the help of a QCIF biostatistician.

QCIF has played a key role in ensuring Australia’s global CoralWatch citizen science platform is user friendly for both scientists and non-scientists alike. QCIF’s Software Solutions team customised the Atlas of Living Australia’s BioCollect field data collection platform as a replacement for CoralWatch.

Acknowledging the growing interest in the genomics of crustaceans to assist the aquaculture industry, a USC researcher has created an online database that allows researchers to look up crustacean gene expression across tissues and life stages and enables them to upload their own data sets.
