Here at NCI, how are we maximizing data utility? Two of our leaders comment on the ways we’re making data ready for use with artificial intelligence (AI), more valuable to the cancer research community, and more!

See how NCI’s CCDI is helping transform the infrastructure and resources you need to find, use, and share high-quality data, as outlined in a recent report.

She speaks to how these areas are interconnected, shares her personal career journey, and uses her experience to advise you on how to be a successful cancer researcher.

NCI has a new data science leader as of June 30, 2024! Meet Dr. Warren Kibbe. He’s bringing a wealth of experience to a brand new position at NCI—with the goal of advancing the use of data and data science in cancer research and care.

Dr. Jill Barnholtz-Sloan is CBIIT’s new acting director following Dr. Tony Kerlavage’s retirement last week. In addition to this role, Dr. Barnholtz-Sloan maintains her responsibility as associate director for the Informatics and Data Science Program and senior investigator in the Division of Cancer Epidemiology and Genetics, Trans-Divisional Research Program.
