Here are a few example from the health sciences.
Genomics
HUNT Cloud was initially build for large-scale genomics analysis. We provide environments for genotyping, sequencing, proteomics, metabolomics and other omics studies.
Image analysis
We hold tools for both CPU and GPU-based images analysis, including computed tomography imaging, magnetic resonance imaging, and ultrasound imaging.
Epidemiology
Epidemiology is evolving with more data, new methods and new tools. HUNT Cloud allows you explore different analytical approches and resources inside the same lab.
Inspire and innovate
Teaching labs
We provide teaching environments free of charge for courses that wants to transfer the excitement of sensitive data analysis and open-source tools to the next generation of scientists.
Enterprise labs
Our enterprise program is aimed at small and medium-sized enterprises that need a trustworthy framework when they innovate over public data. Contact us for more information.
Pre-processing environments
We monitor the European legal landscape closely to ensure that our
secure processing environments are in compliance with EHDS and GDPR.
secure processing environments are in compliance with EHDS and GDPR.
Data holders
We collaborate closely with large-scale population-based health studies and other data holders to provide pre-processing environments for quality assurance, long-term archiving of data, and transfer services directly to secure processing environments.
Health data access bodies (HDAB)
The European Health Data Space (EHDS) will change how we access health data. We collaborate closely with the coordinating HDAB in Norway for both pre-processing and exports to secure processing environments.
Data producers
We provide high-capacity pre-processing environments to core facilities and other data producers for automated quality assurance workflows, large-scale data transfers from lab instruments, and exports to scientists in secure processing environments.
National infrastructure for sensitive data
About HUNT Cloud
History
Founded in 2013, HUNT Cloud has been at the forefront of providing reliable cloud computing services tailored for both national and international scientific initiatives under the vision «data for a better world».
Team
Experiences in HUNT Cloud are shaped and molded by a small team of scientific instrument makers that work hard to make the impossible possible. Learn more about the team that makes HUNT Cloud.
Our foundation
Technology
Technology changes fast, and brings with it new solutions and new opportunities. NTNU has a long tradition for experimentation and adoption of new technologies. In this spirit, we see the importance of always developing to stay relevant.
Trust
Trust is the hard currency in science, and the foundation for everything we do. Since its beginning in 1984, HUNT has been pioneering trustworthy care for health data. We are building on this tradition to protect study participants and scientific integrity.
Collaboration
Truly impactful science takes place across traditional borders; across fields, sectors and countries. We aim to strongly support scientists who dream on a global scale and who are eager to advance international collaborations and explorations.
Our principles
Crafted
Science is all about exploring the unknown. Infrastructures that support truly novel missions can not be purchased off-the-self. They must to be built and continuously developed with love and dedication.
Open
HUNT Cloud adhere to open infrastructure principles. This means that we embrace open source software, open standards, and vendor neutral equipment - and we strongly support open science.
At the intersection of technology and art
We believe in the power of combining ideas from the liberal arts and humanities with technology and biomedical science, to advance dialogues and knowledge from sensitive data.
