Telecommunications
2018 – With efforts from the Center for Biomedical Informatics and Information Technology (CBIIT) at NCI, the Open Systems Health Laboratory (OHSL) and Ceferino Obcemea, a medical physicist who recently joined the NCI Radiation Research Program (RRP), there has been substantial progress in the implementation of TELESYNERGYTM. We established our teleconference facility which is used for RRP teleconferences with grantees, international scientific collaborators and global partners. As with all teleconference systems, we experience challenges working with facilities and individuals with low bandwidth. Nonetheless, thanks to the expertise of NCI and their commitment, the conferencing system is comparable to other systems currently available. This is very welcome progress as it enhances NCI’s outreach.
