Week 2 of the 2021 American Association for Cancer Research (AACR) Annual Meeting takes place May 17–21, and we’d like to help you find and build your itinerary of NCI’s data science and data sharing presentations!

If you are attending, consider the following event sessions from NCI programs such as the Clinical Proteomic Tumor Analysis Consortium (CPTAC), the NCI-Department of Energy (DOE) Collaboration, and NCI Cancer Research Data Commons (CRDC):
