Two CRDC teams presented at the NCI Informatics Technology for Cancer Research (ITCR) Annual Meeting in mid-September. Both presentations focused on supporting researchers who want to create or bring their own tools to CRDC platforms for tailored inquiries.    CRDC’s Erin Beck co-presented with Rowan Beck (no relation) from Seven Bridges Cancer Genomics Cloud (Sb-CGC), powered by Velsera, one of three NCI-funded cloud resources included in the CRDC. Together they demonstrated....

The American Association for Cancer Research (AACR) Annual Meeting was held April 2023 in Orlando, Florida, attracting more than 21,000 attendees – in person and virtual – from across national and international cancer research communities. Abstracts for most sessions are publicly available. Key sessions are available online. Presentations on Major NCI Initiatives The National Cancer Plan NCI Director Monica Bertagnolli, MD, presented on the NCI’s National Can....

The TARGET datasets are huge. In Wilms Tumor alone, hundreds of tumors were sequenced in our effort to define the genetic landscape of this pediatric cancer. There is so much in that dataset that there are bound to be more discoveries in the future. Additional knowledge comes out as researchers go back to “re-mine” the data. That’s why it is so important to make these datasets publicly available. Jeffrey Dome, MD, PhD, recently spoke with the CRDC team about his work and that of his....
