What can you do with Dryad data?

Dryad's curation process helps make our published data findable and ready for reuse. You'll find datasets suitable for meta-analysis, machine learning, and more.
  • Use our clinical trial data for prediction modeling and personalized medicine. Try searching for clinical trials.
  • Use our medical imaging datasets such as MRI, CT, and histopathology images to develop image classification, segmentation, and diagnosis models. Try searching for MRI.
  • Analyze our epidemiological data to uncover trends and patterns in public health or dig into the effects of environmental factors on health outcomes. Try searching epidemiology.

Submit your proposal by October 24, 2024. Review the
full details, eligibility, and deadlines


Best of luck! We look forward to seeing how you use Dryad data to advance health research.
