Dr. Katrin Crameri

MPH Director, Personalized Health Informatics Group and SPHN Data Coordination Center, SIB I Swiss Institute of Bioinformatics

Katrin Crameri is committed to improving the framework conditions for biomedical and data-driven research in Switzerland, advancing better research for better health. Katrin joined the Swiss Institute of Bioinformatics (SIB) in 2019 as Group Leader and Director of the Data Coordination Center of the Swiss Personalized Health Network (SPHN) initiative. In this position, she is responsible for the technical implementation of key milestones of this important research infrastructure initiative, aiming to establish a data-enabling environment for a secure and efficient secondary use of health data. One major focus of Katrin’s group is on FAIRification of (routine) data from the healthcare system and thus make them usable and sharable for research purposes, with a strong attention on data interoperability. In addition, Katrin is heading the BioMedIT Board and in charge of the establishment of Switzerland’s trusted research environment for a secure transfer, storage, processing and analysis of confidential research data.
A molecular biologist with a PhD in neuroscience and a master's degree in public health, Katrin has long been engaged in biomedical research, research administration and the future-oriented development of Switzerland as a research location of biomedical excellence. Since 2015, she has been active in various national and international committees for an efficient and responsible use of health data.
