In case you missed it, this third article (part 1 of 2) in the Investigator Spotlight Series, developed and written by Dr. Dawn Hayward, Office Clinical Cancer Proteomic Research (OCCPR) NCI Communications Fellow, highlights our up and coming Clinical Proteomic Tumor Analysis Consortium (CPTAC)...
September 14, 2020
Announcing our newest data release for the Clinical Proteomic Tumor Analysis Consortium (CPTAC) Lung Squamous Cell Carcinoma (LSCC) Discovery study! Because LSCC accounts for about 30% of all lung cancers and has a ~20% 5-year survival rate, it’s imperative that cancer researchers learn more about...
September 8, 2020
In a recent issue of Nature Communications, Clinical Proteomics Tumor Analysis Consortium (CPTAC) researchers from Bing Zhang’s lab at Baylor College of Medicine describe a new bioinformatics software tool developed to evaluate the quality of variant peptide identifications. Using a deep learning...
