Join technical project managers Gina Kuffel and Steph Singleton as they showcase the newly launched Clinical and Translational Data Commons (CTDC). As the latest cloud-based resource within NCI’s Cancer Research Data Commons, the CTDC will enhance your access to clinical and translational data from NCI-funded initiatives.

During the demo, you will learn how to make the most of CTDC’s features, including:

customizing your search: You can use customizable search filters and dynamic visualizations to streamline cohort building and data exploration.
integrating with cloud workflows: You can connect CTDC data with the Seven Bridges Cancer Genomic Cloud, allowing you to lead efficient and secure data analysis while reducing the need to manage large data sets locally.
accessing data securely: You can find clinical and translational data in the CTDC via public, registered, and controlled access tiers. CTDC has implemented robust security protocols to ensure access-controlled and registered access data are protected and accessible only to authorized researchers.

CTDC’s inaugural data set, the Cancer Moonshot^SM Biobank, includes clinical data shared by participants throughout their standard of care treatment at participating U.S. medical institutions. The CTDC will continue to expand and release additional data sets in the coming months.

Read more about the CTDC, how you can use it, and how it aims to accelerate cancer discovery.
