Cloud Resources: Cancer Genomics Cloud Helps Power Data Discovery and Analysis to Advance Cancer Research

The diversity, complexity, and distribution of data sets present an ongoing challenge to cancer researchers looking to perform advanced analyses. Here we describe the Cancer Genomics Cloud, powered by Seven Bridges, an NCI Cloud Resource that’s helping to bring together data and computational power to further advance cancer research and discovery.

For the Love of … Data! Drs. Kibbe and Almeida Discuss How Data Help Reveal Our Natural World

We love how data science is changing the way we look at the world. In this latest blog, Drs. Kibbe and Almeida discuss why they love data and how scientific methods can help us better understand our natural world, our universe, and ourselves.

As illustrated in this graphic, the three NCI Cloud Resources provide researchers, clinicians, and data scientists access to the data within NCI's Cancer Research Data Commons and computational tools.

NCI’s Cloud Resources Help Tame Today’s Data Windfall

To the NCI Cancer Research Data Commons, cloud computing means three words: NCI Cloud Resources. These are real-world examples of making data accessible and available to all cancer researchers. Kicking off the first of a four-part blog series, the NCI Cloud Resources share their origin story and the problems that cloud computing could solve in cancer research.

Meteorology, Aerospace Engineering, and Cancer Research—The Future of Predictive Modeling

What do winter storms, airplanes, and cancer research have in common? In this blog, experts on meteorology, aerospace engineering, and radiation oncology explore what we can learn from these very different fields to further advance how we target and apply radiation to more effectively treat cancerous tumors.

It Takes a Village: The Value of Collaboration in Genomic Cancer Studies

The explosion of genetic information and direct access to large-scale genomic data not only opens up new areas for exploring today's most pressing research questions, it also serves as a reminder of the importance of collaboration at every stage of the study. NCI’s Dr. Daoud Meerzaman describes a new "circular" way of collaborating that keeps everyone in the loop when devising new genomics studies.
