Dana-Farber Joins the Collaborative Cancer Cloud

Dana-Farber Cancer Institute has officially announced that we are joining the Collaborative Cancer Cloud Project. This is an exciting new initiative for us, providing an opportunity for us to collaborate with Intel, the Knight Institute at Oregon Health Sciences University (OHSU) and the Ontario Institute for Cancer Research (OICR).

The overall goal of the project is to leverage Intel's unique platform to securely share genomic data across multiple cancer centers, while preserving patient confidentiality. Pilot projects will focus on genomic analysis and image analysis, and distributed machine learning across multiple centers.
