Using a collaborative team science approach, the Center for Cancer Genomics engages in three complementary subdisciplines within cancer genomics: genome sequencing, functional genomics, and computational genomics.

• Cancer Target Discovery and Development (CTD²) Network
• Human Cancer Models Initiative (HCMI)
• The Cancer Genome Atlas (TCGA)
• Therapeutically Applicable Research to Generate Effective Treatments (TARGET)
• Genomic Data Analysis Network (GDAN)

CCG Data and Resources

An overarching goal of the Center for Cancer Genomics is to create genomics resources for the research community, and a key resource is our data.

• CTD² Data Portal
• HCMI Searchable Catalog
• TCGA Publication Data
• TCGA Pan-Cancer Atlas
• CCG Program Data in the Genomic Data Commons

Research Areas

• Cancer Genome SequencingCancer genome sequencing identifies alterations in cancer that contribute to cancer growth, metastasis, and recurrence.
• Functional Genomics Functional genomics studies the role of particular genes and pathways in the development and progression of cancer and develops therapeutic strategies to target them.
• Computational GenomicsComputational genomics uses statistical and computational approaches to derive insight from big data on cancer.
