The mission of the Cancer Informatics Shared Resource (CISR) is to promote high quality, innovative cancer research by providing members of UW Carbone Cancer Center (UWCCC) with modern and efficient informatics, including advancements in bioinformatics, clinical informatics, image analysis and computational science.
More About CISR
The CISR continues to advance in its essential role to contribute to all UWCCC Scientific Programs by providing bioinformatics (genomics, transcriptomics, proteomics, and metabolomics, etc.) and machine learning resources that address the specific needs of UWCCC members in a cost-effective manner.
Consultation is especially valuable during the planning stage of a research study or a proposal for extramural funding. To accomplish CISR’s mission, the CISR offers consultation and data analysis services to UWCCC members. Specifically, the CISR offers intellectual resources and services by providing members access to a wide range of skills and expertise interpreting research data sets using existing analysis methods and technologies and developing new methodology when needed.
