EDRN-CPTAC Joint Session at the 9th US-HUPO Annual Conference, Baltimore MD
The National Cancer Institute (NCI)’s Clinical Proteomic Tumor Analysis Consortium (CPTAC) and the Early Detection Research Network (EDRN) will host a session during the 9th US-Human Proteome Organization Annual Conference entitled “Highlights from NCI Proteomic Research Programs.” The purpose is to highlight the translational nature of these programs, and present some recent work in developing new candidate targets and biomarkers for clinical use. Please see the agenda below.
EDRN is a network of investigators committed to the discovery, development and validation of cancer biomarkers and assays for clinical use. EDRN investigators are developing biomarkers for cancer early detection, diagnosis and prognosis and conducting a multi-institutional validation studies to prove their clinical utility.
CPTAC is a comprehensive and coordinated effort of investigators to accelerate the understanding of the molecular basis of cancer through the application of robust, quantitative, proteomic technologies and workflows. CPTAC is to identify proteins that derive from alterations in cancer genomes (such as tumors from NCI's Cancer Genome Atlas (TCGA)) and related biological processes, and provide all data with accompanying assays and protocols to the public.
