Uncovering Novel Roles Of MicroRNAs in Tumors Using The Cancer Genomics Cloud

Presentation/Conference

March 24, 2021 2:00 p.m. - 3:00 p.m. ET

At the next Cancer Genome Cloud’s (CGC's) monthly webinar series, NCI Research Fellow, Dr. Xavier Bofill-De Ros, will share his experiences leveraging the NCI Cancer Research Data Commons (CRDC) Cloud Resources to study microRNA and its mechanisms. He will present on:

analyzing microRNA isoforms in the cloud.
understanding the role of RNA structures on microRNA function.
applying “The Cancer Genome Atlas (TCGA)” and multi-omics approach to mechanistic studies.

As one of NCI’s Cloud Resources, the CGC provides researchers access to a wide variety of data sets from NCI’s CRDC along with a catalog of tools to analyze and visualize the data directly from an internet browser.

The webinar series is free and available to the public.

Xavier Bofill-De Ros, Ph.D.

Dr. Bofill-De Ros is a research fellow in NCI’s RNA Biology Laboratory. His research includes studies of how microRNA biogenesis affects tumor progression and mechanisms affecting microRNA stability. Dr. Bofill-De Ros also aided in NCI’s development of QuagmiR, the first cloud-based tool for microRNA isoform analysis.
