This month, the Cancer Research Data Commons Cancer Genomics Cloud webinar welcomes Dr. Wenming Xiao, a lead bioinformatics scientist at the U.S. Food and Drug Administration. Dr. Xiao will present on how computational, technical, and biological factors affect the reproducibility and accuracy of samples in whole-genome and whole-exome sequencing.

Although deep learning has been used for a variety of medical applications across many disciplines, the number of prospective validation studies is limited for this subset of artificial intelligence (AI). Dr. Eric Topol, M.D., will discuss how we need to confront such vital issues of how AI can unintentionally worsen inequities and discrimination.

In this Data Science Seminar, Dr. Kristen Naegle will address both the advances and challenges in using phosphoproteomic data to better predict kinase activity and consequently strengthen precision medicine.

Dr. Deanne M. Taylor will present a graph database that enables users to search and grow relationships between genes, variants, and pathways on relevant genomic locations of interest. This graph database is modeled on structures in NIH's Unified Medical Language System (UMLS) and is comprised of biological knowledge extracted from five NIH Common Fund data sets.

In the upcoming NCI Imaging and Informatics Community Webinar, Dr. Chad Quarles will highlight how the biophysics of underlying dynamic susceptibility contrast (DSC) MRI is informing how to detect, identify, and analyze brain cancer.

This conference aims to build upon multidisciplinary networks around data, implementation science, and digital health; drive science and translation; and advance improvements in the development, implementation, and dissemination of medical evidence. It is designed for data scientists, clinical researchers, public health professionals, and others who desire to improve existing approaches for turning observations into interventions that improve health.

During this month’s Cancer Genomics Cloud (CGC) webinar, bioinformaticians Dr. Vesna Pajic and Nevena Vukojicic will show attendees how to use CGC features to perform multi-omics analysis on data from The Cancer Genome Atlas (TCGA) and Clinical Proteomic Tumor Analysis Consortium (CPTAC).

In this public workshop, participants, including data repository managers, will discuss the challenges and opportunities for researchers, institutions, and funders to establish effective data management and sharing practices.

The latest NCI Genomic Data Commons (GDC) monthly support webinar will cover using the GDC Application Programming Interface (API) to systematically access its data and tools.

Register to attend a hands-on workshop on connecting and analyzing the Proteomic Data Commons’ data within the Cancer Genomics Cloud powered by Seven Bridges.
