Data Coordinating Center (DCC)
The Data Coordinating Center (DCC) provides services to members of the School of Medicine. The services have as their main focus needs related to managing data of ongoing or new research projects. We specialize in the planning, development, management, and secure implementation of systems to achieve project goals in a technologically modern environment. In particular, we have expertise in integrating advanced statistical and bioinformatics tools in a technologically modern environment.
About Us
We are a service center of the School of Medicine that is based in its Department of Health Research and Policy. The DCC was launched formally in March 2002 to fulfill the needs of research in the Stanford University School of Medicine.
We are best reached via email. Please send email to with a brief description of your project and we will get back to you.
