NDP provides the infrastructure, expertise and managed services needed to support neurological data throughout its lifecycle.
Our services can be delivered as part of a fully managed TRE Hub, or used individually to complement existing research infrastructure.
From establishing governance and securely ingesting data through to specialist imaging and genomic processing, data discovery and researcher access, our team manages the operational complexity behind research data — so that programmes can focus on delivering excellent science.
Built on SeRP’s secure research infrastructure and more than a decade of experience supporting complex research programmes, our services are designed to be scalable, flexible and tailored to the needs of each programme.
NDP provides an end-to-end managed service for research programmes that need a secure environment in which to hold, manage and provide access to sensitive data.
Each programme can retain its own identity, website, research community and governance arrangements while NDP provides the infrastructure and operational machinery behind the TRE Hub.
Services can include infrastructure, data ingestion, data management, governance support, researcher onboarding, access provisioning, secure analysis environments and output management.
We start by understanding your scientific plans, data flows, participant relationships, governance responsibilities and anticipated research community — then configure a Hub from the infrastructure and services you need.
We can support a new programme from its earliest stages, or help an established resource move to a more sustainable operating model.

Your programme continues to lead the science and its community. NDP manages the complexity behind the data.
Our specialist team manages data from initial acquisition through to secure researcher access. We work with data providers and programmes to establish appropriate transfer arrangements, ingest and validate data, manage documentation and metadata, undertake curation and maintain data throughout its lifecycle.
For multimodal collections, we coordinate data types within a coherent approach — including longitudinal cohort data, clinical information, cognitive measures, imaging, genomics, biomarkers, biosample information, patient-reported outcomes and device-derived data.
Effective governance is fundamental to making sensitive data available for research. NDP provides practical governance expertise to help programmes develop proportionate, robust arrangements for data deposit, management, access and use.
Our experience includes governance for complex and emerging research methods, including artificial intelligence, federated analysis and synthetic data.
NDP provides specialist pipelines for the management and processing of medical imaging data. Raw imaging data can be securely ingested, quality checked, de-identified, standardised and processed to create research-ready data.
Pipelines can include imaging defacing, standardisation, quality assessment, metadata creation and the generation of derived measures, tailored to different imaging modalities and research requirements.
NDP provides secure infrastructure and specialist workflows for storing, managing and processing genomic data alongside other research data.
Our scalable storage and compute infrastructure enables programmes to manage large genomic collections while supporting appropriate governance, controlled researcher access and integration with complementary phenotypic, clinical and imaging data.
NDP provides intelligent discovery tooling that helps researchers understand what data is available before applying for access.
Researchers can search metadata across participating TRE Hubs, explore variables, compare datasets and identify complementary data assets relevant to their research question.
NDP can provide secure collaborative environments where approved researchers from different organisations can work together with data, analytical tools and shared research resources.
Environments can be configured around the needs of individual projects, programmes, workshops or collaborative initiatives, providing appropriate compute, storage and analytical tooling — including specialist software and high-volume data processing — while maintaining TRE security controls.
NDP supports research programmes that work with highly characterised research participants and participant registers. We can provide the data infrastructure and services needed to manage participant information, support study feasibility and enable appropriately governed routes to recruitment and re-contact.
Whether you need a complete managed TRE Hub or specialist support for a particular part of the data lifecycle, NDP can provide a service tailored to your programme.
