Keep up with the latest news from the NCI Center for Biomedical Informatics and Information Technology (CBIIT) and the data science communities.

The Cancer Data Service (CDS) Portal is now live. This brings cancer researchers expanded capacity and flexibility when using the NCI data ecosystem.

NCI-funded researchers looked at the impact of racial and ethnic bias on algorithms that help clinicians make more informed decisions when caring for patients with colorectal cancer. They found that removing the race and ethnicity variable could lead to higher bias in the model’s performance.

NCI-funded researchers used artificial intelligence to develop an accurate cancer estimation map for defining tumor margins. They found their model outperformed conventional estimates of tumor margins using imaging alone.

In an NCI-funded study, mammography artificial intelligence (AI) algorithms generated a five-year breast cancer prediction that was better than a clinical risk model.

How can artificial intelligence assist in treating breast cancer? Learn more about the $3.3 million NCI grant awarded to help advance research into drug therapy.

The DataWorks! Prize recognizes and rewards exceptional researchers for their work in biological and biomedical data practices. Submit your data sharing/reuse best practice “recipes” by July 24, 2024!

Are you a highly qualified, visionary leader working in the field of data science? If so, apply by August 25, 2023, to become NCI’s first Deputy Director for Data Science.

Have you ever wanted to see the mutations you’re studying in three dimensions (3D)? CBIIT has a new tool, called 3DVizSNP, to help automate this process.

NCI’s Childhood Cancer Data Initiative (CCDI) requests information from labs capable of conducting molecular profiling using specimens from pediatric and young adult patients. If you’re interested, review the Request for Information and submit your feedback by July 7, 2023, at 5:00 p.m. ET.

Are you and your colleagues interested in helping maintain and grow the Proteomic Data Commons (PDC)? NCI has a new contract opportunity to support PDC’s current operations as well as build in new enhancements. Proposals are due Friday, September 29, 2023.
