The Science
We use computational approaches to genetic data to identify less toxic or more effective treatments.
The Data
We have collected data shared from more than 11,000 tumor samples and made it freely available to researchers.
Why It Matters
It is hard to know how to treat children with cancer because there are so few medicines tested on children. We are working to improve outcomes.
“The Genomics Institute has been coming up with approaches to treating pediatric cancer that have never been tried before.”
