CPTAC Contributes to In-Depth Profiling of CAR T-Cell Signaling

CAR T-cells, which are immune cells reprogrammed to fight cancer, are promising novel cancer therapies to treat certain types of tumors. But, the underlying biological pathways that lead to remission or toxicity are not fully understood. In a study published in...


PrecisionFDA NCI-CPTAC Multi-Omics Challenge Deadline Approaching

The NCI-CPTAC Multi-omics Enabled Sample Mislabeling Correction Challenge sub-challenge 2 closes on December 19 at 07:59:59 UTC. Just two weeks left to submit your compuational algorithms. Remember, if you did not participate in sub-challenge 1, you can still participate in sub-challenge 2.


PrecisionFDA NCI-CPTAC Multi-Omics Challenge Launches Sub-Challenge 2

The second data release for the NCI-CPTAC Multi-omics Enabled Sample Mislabeling Correction Challenge has launched!  If you did not participate in sub-challenge 1 (submission 1), you can still participate in sub-challenge 2 (submission 2).


CPTAC Contributes to the Identification of a Novel Pharmacodynamic Biomarker for Clinical Trial Use

Several ongoing Phase I clinical trials are assessing the safety and tolerability of ATM (ataxia-telangiectasia mutated) and ATR (ataxia-telangiectasia and Rad3-Related) inhibitors when administered alone or in combination with existing therapies. ATM and ATR are attractive therapeutic targets in...


PrecisionFDA NCI-CPTAC Multi-Omics Challenge Updates

The security of precisionFDA users’ personal information and data is of critical importance. To strengthen the safeguards already in place, precisionFDA will be introducing several changes to achieve compliance with the FedRAMP and FISMA Moderate security standards. These changes will take effect...
