Data and Technology Applications

Our team facilitates collaborative research through the best application of state-of-the-art technologies and methods to centralize the utilization and management of data in areas such as population-based research, translational science and clinical trials focused on cancer.

It supports real-world data services by using advanced and robust tools to collect, manage, store and disseminate data. We work in collaboration with Winship Cancer Institute's research programs, other Winship shared resources, Emory Office of Information Technology and Emory University School of Medicine core facilities.

Our core's multi-pronged approach to addressing investigators' data management needs is critical for the scientific mission of Winship Cancer Institute.

Services Available

As part of the Winship Molecular Profiling Initiative, we launched the Winship cBioPortal, a web-based resource that allows researchers to explore, visualize and analyze Winship cancer genomics data.

Our team facilitates clinicogenomic querying and insight by transforming cancer patients' multidimensional, complex molecular profiling data into easily accessible molecular profiles and clinical attributes. Data (genetic, gene expression, clinical, etc.) provided through the Winship cBioPortal are de-identified and can be utilized for feasibility analyses. More extensive molecular datasets with associated clinical data can be made available for research, if requested. To learn more about Winship cBioPortal and/or customized genomics analytics and reporting, please feel free to contact us or submit a request in PPMS.

We offer:

We also provide access to National Cancer Database files for solid and hematologic malignancies. This service is available to Winship members for research purposes, and is provided in collaboration with the Biostatistics Shared Resource.
