What this research studies
As a patient, this team would take tumor, blood, and organoid samples and run many kinds of DNA, RNA, and spatial molecular tests. They use established bioinformatics pipelines and software to clean, quality-check, and analyze large sequencing and multi-omics datasets. The group coordinates data flow with the mouse/organoid and imaging cores so results from different lab methods are combined. Their work turns raw molecular data into organized results researchers can use to spot biomarkers or treatment targets.
Who could benefit from this research
Good fit: Ideal candidates are people with cancer who are enrolled in related projects and who can provide tumor, blood, or tissue samples for genomic analysis.
Not a fit: Patients who are not part of the collaborating projects or who do not provide samples would not directly benefit from this core's activities.
Why it matters
Potential benefit: If successful, this could speed and improve cancer genomic analyses so researchers find clearer biomarkers and leads for new diagnostics or therapies.
How similar studies have performed: Bioinformatics cores and integrated genomics pipelines have supported many successful cancer discoveries, and this core applies those proven tools in a coordinated, large-scale way.
