Dr. Kerlavage retired in May 2024 after thirteen years at NCI and seven years as the director of CBIIT. In this blog, he reflects on his experiences as director, offers guidance for future leaders in the field, and discusses his retirement plans. Explore the valuable insights gained from his journey and contributions to cancer research.

4. Why We Love Diverse Data 

Hands of many different colors come together to embrace a heart filled with data points against a background of codes. Illustrates the value of diverse data.

Blog #4 highlights scientists who cherish data, particularly diverse data. Read this blog for practical tips on enhancing diversity in your own data collection.

3. The Cancer Genome Atlas (TCGA)—A Living Legacy for Cancer Research  

Abstract rendering of a human genome sequencing shows vertical lines of blue and black. Along the lines are small rectangles that vary in intensity, with some bright and others darker. Small icons along the lines of color designate a position of interest along the DNA sequence.

The TCGA maps the genomic profiles of 33 cancer types and subtypes, providing invaluable insights for researchers. By engaging with this data collection, you can better understand the molecular features associated with cancer, empowering your research and potentially leading to groundbreaking discoveries.

2. Living on the Edge—How Video Games Helped Shape the Future of Cancer Care  

Button with the words "Edge Computing" in the center and surrounded by icons that are important for this technology. These icons include a person (to signify the user), a lightbulb (to show an idea), a spyglass (to show research or questions), a hand with dollar signs (to show economics), a graph (to show how research is used to yield solutions), and a series of lines and cogs (to show how the system works).

Did you know that the innovative technology behind realistic video games also drives significant advancements in cancer research? In this compelling blog by Dr. Eric Stahlberg, director of Frederick National Laboratory for Cancer Research, you’ll explore the transformative role of edge computing in oncology. Uncover how this technology is reimagining cancer care and paving the way for future breakthroughs that could impact countless lives.

1. A Quick Start Guide to Cancer Data Science for Clinical Oncology  

Three circles depict three separate but connected events. The first features a researcher looking at medical scans, the second is a team gathered around a laptop, and the third shows a doctor with a patient.

Whether you’re a data scientist, a clinical researcher, or intrigued by the intersection of technology and oncology, the top blog of 2024 is for you! We’ve meticulously curated a list of data sets, tools, and learning resources designed to showcase how these disciplines synergize to empower cancer research.
