Projects

Intersect undertakes a range of projects to develop and deploy eResearch tools and infrastructure, with the ultimate goal of improving the quality and quantity of research in NSW. Intersect members are entitled and encouraged to use and adapt Intersect intellectual property including project work.

The Intersect portfolio of projects ranges broadly across research disciplines and consists of both large and small projects. These projects are variously funded:

by members on a fee-for-service basis;
by national research bodies such as the Australian National Data Service and the Australian Research Collaboration Service; and
as part of the Innovation program, a member service.

Intersect also undertakes projects for non-members where a value for members is apparent.

Among our recent projects are the following. If you are interested in using any of these, please email enquiries@intersect.org.au.

Testimonials

“We can now store massive amounts of genomic data, share it with our colleagues and analyse it in a seamless manner.

This is fundamental infrastructure that underpins genomic research. Without it, we just can’t do the work.”

Professor Marc Wilkins
Ramaciotti Centre for Gene Function Analysis

“The new Intersect developed system will allow us to seamlessly collect clinical information from people with schizophrenia and to track the stored data as it progresses through the various processing and data analysis stages.

Intersect is not only helping the ASRB to develop expert IT capacity, but is creating a secure commercial grade system that will revolutionise the way schizophrenia research data is collected, stored and disseminated in Australia”

Dr Carmel Loughland
Australian Schizophrenia Research Bank Manager

“Intersect was able to provide us with specialised user interaction design skills at a critical moment in the development of the healthy.me consumer ehealth research platform.

It was a highly effective way to access system design skills for a short sharp burst, and Intersect filled the gap for us beautifully.”

Professor Enrico Coiera
Director of the Centre for Health Informatics
UNSW

“The AMMRF offers a complete user experience involving the stages of project registration, planning and training followed by data gathering, analysis, management and publication. Intersect is enabling improvement of the user experience through the development of tools that enable researchers to identify and apply the appropriate technology quickly, and manage the storage and use of large data sets.”

Professor Simon Ringer, Executive Director
Australian Microscopy & Microanalysis Research Facility

We are now able to share with other researchers over 23,000 video clips on health coverage in news and current affairs programs dating from 2005. This is a globally unique collection that will be invaluable to media researchers. The Intersect staff are wonderful communicators and once they started working with us, the job was rapidly completed.”

Professor Simon Chapman
School of Public Health, University of Sydney on Health News

Intersect has provided AustLII with the technical capacity to carry out a range of short, medium and long-term projects with great flexibility. We have appreciated the ability to find staff with a range of technical skill sets quickly. We look forward to a mutually beneficial relationship on an ongoing basis.

Phillip Chung
Executive Director, AustLII
