- CCDI highlights and other collaborative NCI childhood cancer research programs.
- CCDI-funded data use project updates.
- molecular diagnostics in childhood cancer as part of standard of care.
- how to leverage big data and real-world evidence in childhood cancer research.
- industry, regulator, and advocate engagements for driving transformation.
