Attendees of the 23rd International Conference on Image Computing & Computer Assisted Intervention (MICCAI) can register for a special workshop on NCI’s public image repositories, including The Cancer Imaging Archive and soon-to-be-launched Imaging Data Commons.

Dr. Connie Sommers, NCI program director and Integrated Canine Data Commons team member, will highlight how NCI is leveraging data from precision medicine and Cancer MoonshotSM canine immunotherapy initiatives. Data harmonized and housed within the ICDC allows researchers to compare canine data with relevant human data sets.

Dr. Amy LeBlanc, director of NCI’s Comparative Oncology Program and Integrated Canine Data Commons team member, will join other panel members at the 2nd Annual Paws for a Cure Research Symposium to discuss “Canine Genetic Biomarker Data in the Context of Human.”

The NCI’s Integrated Canine Data Commons (ICDC) team will present a poster titled, “The Integrated Canine Data Commons: An Open Public Data Sharing Platform,” at the 2nd Annual Paws for a Cure Research Symposium.

In this webinar, the University of Chicago's Drs. Bill Wysocki and Zhenyu Zhang will educate attendees on the NCI Genomic Data Commons’ bioinformatics pipelines for data harmonization.

This year’s Ci4CC Fall 2020 Virtual Symposium will examine the latest trends in pediatric and adolescent and young adult (AYA) cancer research, with special emphasis on data science and informatics and how these fields are helping to better understand the biology of disease and potential therapies.

NCI’s Center for Biomedical Informatics and Information Technology (CBIIT) Director, Dr. Tony Kerlavage, and Huntsman Cancer Institute’s Dr. Anne Kirchhoff, are serving as co-chairs and keynote speakers.

The 2020 Clinical Proteomic Tumor Analysis Consortium (CPTAC) Virtual Scientific Symposium will feature updates on CPTAC’s latest research advances in cancer proteogenomics and cancer research.

The Institute for Systems Biology-Cancer Genomics Cloud—one of the NCI Cloud Resources—will co-present a virtual poster on leveraging cloud computing to find evidence of microtubule-actin crosslinking factor 1 within gynecological cancers.

The Institute for Systems Biology-Cancer Genomics Cloud—one of the NCI Cloud Resources—will present a poster on using cloud-based multi-omics data to characterize molecular features, genes, proteins, and their impact on clinical outcomes in breast cancer.

Data are only as useful as the insights we can glean from them. How might recent advances in interactive media and data visualization help illuminate and solve pertinent challenges in cancer research? NCI is organizing a series of virtual events to explore these questions and spark new collaborations with experts in cancer research, data visualization, user-experience, virtual/augmented reality, and game design/development.
