OCCPR: A Leader in Cancer Proteomics and Proteogenomics

The mission of the NCI’s Office of Cancer Clinical Proteomics Research (OCCPR) is to improve prevention, early detection, diagnosis, and treatment of cancer by enhancing the understanding of the molecular mechanisms of cancer, to advance proteome and proteogenome science and technology development through community resources (data and reagents), and to accelerate the translation of molecular findings into the clinic. This is achieved through extramural programs such as the Clinical Proteomic Tumor Analysis Consortium (CPTAC), partnerships with Federal agencies, collaborations with international organizations/institutions, and intramural reference laboratories such as the Antibody Characterization Lab and Clinical Proteomic Characterization Lab.

Proteomics 3 Ways – An Efficient Analysis of Global, Glyco-, and Phospho-Proteomics

In a new study published in Analytical Chemistry, we see another example of ingenuity by NCI’s Office of Cancer Clinical Proteomic Research (OCCPR) Clinical Proteomic Tumor Analysis Consortium (CPTAC) scientists. In an effort to optimize analytical output and conserve hard-to-obtain biospecimen...


Joint Proteomic and Genomic Data Release for Head and Neck Squamous Cell Carcinoma

108 cases of the NCI’s Clinical Proteomic Tumor Analysis Program (CPTAC) Head and Neck Squamous Cell Carcinoma Discovery Study have been proteomically and genomically profiled! Each case includes HPV-negative, treatment naive and normal adjacent tissue, and includes proteomic ad phosphoproteomic data...


50 New AML Pathology Slides on TCIA-CPTAC Pathology Portal

50 new pathology slides from 33 new Acute Myeloid Leukemia (AML) subjects are now available on the TCIA-CPTAC Pathology Portal. The April 2020 image release brings the total number of AML pathology slides to 120 from 88 subjects, with most of them also having both tumor blood and marrow imaging. 


OCCPR Webinar: LinkedOmics

Scientists from the Clinical Proteomics Tumor Analysis Consortium (CPTAC) program developed a powerful tool to explore associations between multiple types of omics datasets. The LinkedOmics software collects genomic, transcriptomic and proteomic datasets from The Cancer Genome Atlas (TCGA) and CPTAC...
