TRANSVERSAL PLATFORMS

Common Database Platform

MANAGER

Dr. Julio Sanjúan Arias (G23)

The Platform for data collection (http://gridsam.grycap.upv.esl) was developed by the

Grid and High Performance Computing Group (GRyCAP) of the Universidad Politécnica

de Valencia with the clinical coordination of Group G23 (Universidad de Valencia). The
Platform’s objective is to allow systematic data collection that is distributed in CIBER-

SAM projects. Each project included in the platform can have customized data and

questionnaires to be collected. It is also possible to obtain data from several projects
simultaneously, so the platform becomes a strategic element for collaborative projects.

This platform is linked to the DNA and Neuroimaging Platforms so it can provide exten-

sive clinical and sociodemographic data about the collected samples.
The number of projects included in the common database increases constantly. Some

of said projects currently include:

• Analysis of risk polymorphisms in whole-genome association studies (WGAS) in

psychosis.

• A case-control study on the interaction between polymorphic variation at genes á
implicated in neurogenesis and environmental risk factors in major depression:

“DEPREGENE” Study.

• First psychotic episodes (FPEs). Led by Miguel Bernardo

• The DNA Bank project brings together all subjects (patients and controls) having

DNA samples.
