Dr. Datta has a special interest on database, data analysis and predictive analysis, also termed as data mining (a misnomer). His own projects utilize MySQL (an open source relational database management system). Although MSSQL has also been used for the development of the web application that is now used for FRConline. Earlier, he also took training in Oracle (database version 8), R (an open source software for statistical analysis), and SAS (sas.com) for predictive analysis. These interests culminated from his research on healthcare.

In addition, Dr. Datta often seeks collaboration, partnerships, and consultancy (see: DCG) for working on Genome analysis for Precision Medicine.
