Five Data Science Technologies Driving Cancer Research

Advances in data science are transforming cancer research and care through five key technologies. Together, these technologies are helping researchers collect, share, and analyze vast amounts of data more efficiently, leading to faster discoveries and more precise insights. 

From cloud-based data platforms and high-performance computing to artificial intelligence, digital sensors, and digital twins, each technology plays a distinct role in advancing how cancer is studied, detected, and treated. The infographic provides a high-level view of how these tools work and why they matter for accelerating research and improving outcomes for patients.
