Biotechnology and Integrating Organizational Medicine

Biotechnology and Integrating Organizational Medicine (BIOM), is a small organization devoted to helping people of all races and ethnic groups to find and apply technological advances, good practices, and modern protocols relevant to improving health care and education.
Composed exclusively of volunteers, BIOM has its organizational heart in Europe and, while inspired by solidaristic principles, its field of operation is nowhere limited to so called third world countries. Since 1997, BIOM has operated throughout Africa, East Asia, Europe, Latin America and elsewhere.
BIOM acts anonymously, contributing to projects like the development of "hope cafes" on border regions of various countries, helping people founding health counseling directly or, where health operators were unavailable, by using modern communication resources such as the Internet and video-conferencing.
BIOM biometrics consultants have offered free, independent advise about the best setup of clinical studies to countries that presented economic and logistic difficulties, and advised on good practices in data managing and analysis. BIOM has encouraged the use of open software in developing countries. Other notable initiatives have always been taken into consideration and possibly adopted. An attempt to unify statistical modeling applied to epidemiological studies has also been made, inspired by the work on generalized linear models (GLM), and the development of modern simulation.
