PARCC INSERM are a research team focusing on data analysis in the field of solid organ transplantation. With the use of multidimensional information derived from the standard of care and novel information from cutting edge technologies in immunology, molecular biology, genetics and biomarkers, the aim of INSERM is to develop a personalised approach for transplant medicine. Transplant data will be used to compare the impact of different COVID-19 waves, identify worrisome trends due to COVID-19 and development of a web-based dashboard will enable real-time monitoring of the disease to enable effective alerts. Ultimately, this data can be used to implement effective standardised protocols and guidelines to share information during emergencies.
