Utilizing Data to Make Advancements for Cancer with Dr. Jill Barnholtz-Sloan

Presentation/Conference

July 24, 2024 4:00 p.m. - 5:15 p.m. ET

As a cancer researcher, did you know that data sharing is now required by many funding agencies and journals?

Join NCI CBIIT’s Dr. Jill Barnholtz-Sloan as she highlights how researchers have used large-scale, multi-modal data sets in the past, and how researchers can continue to use these data sets to positively influence human health (including cancer research). During this discussion, Dr. Barnholtz-Sloan will share details about her work at NCI, as well as provide information on:

accessing data resources from large NCI-funded studies,
cloud computing workspaces, and
analytical workflows.

She’ll also summarize NCI resources available to you, how you can access them, and success stories from their use.

The University of California, Irvine, is hosting this webinar.

Jill Barnholtz-Sloan, Ph.D.

Dr. Barnholtz-Sloan is the acting director of CBIIT and associate director of the Informatics and Data Science Program. She leads efforts to shape informatics and data science strategies and foster collaboration across the cancer research community. As a senior intramural investigator in NCI’s Division of Cancer Epidemiology and Genetics Trans-Divisional Research Program, she’s pursuing a research agenda in descriptive epidemiology and etiology of brain tumors. As both an active researcher and administrator, she has insight into how to translate data into real-world solutions to help diagnose, prevent, and treat cancer.
