ABSTRACT
In order to enhance biomedical research and development efficiency and innovation, nontraditional research collaborations have emerged that feature the sharing of information, resources, and capabilities. Although many of these so-called precompetitive collaborations are in the field of oncology, the lessons they offer are broadly applicable to other subfields of translational medicine.

Genome sequence data are enabling clinical genomic investigation, in which the characteristics of human patients are explored using comprehensive inventories of biomolecules. Successful investigators must navigate rapid technological change, collect and analyse large volumes of data, and engage systems of clinical care. Such projects will increasingly rely on fully integrated multidisciplinary teams, demanding new organizational models in academic biomedical research.
