SYNOPSIS: Unified Communications (UC) is growing at a rapid rate, and the technology in use today can connect researchers from around the world in a matter of minutes. Using UC technology, researchers are able to collaborate using high-definition video to share images, integrate scientific equipment, and eliminate borders. In this presentation, Mr. Cox will describe the solutions he has used to connect scientific equipment in the UC space and his development of advanced conference capabilities. Session details ...BIO: K. Todd Cox is a Lead Computer Specialist in the Center for Biomedical Informatics and Information Technology (CBIIT) at the National Cancer Institute. For the past two years he has managed the Unified Communications project at NCI where he and his team have been working to find ways to use technology and new media to help researchers achieve the Institute's mission.

SYNOPSIS: Molecular alterations in cancer cells can result in the expression of abnormal proteins or other translation products not observed in normal somatic cells. These cancer-specific translation products may be useful as therapeutic and imaging targets or as diagnostic markers. Martin McIntosh will present an overview of his work in identifying potential cancer-selective proteins using RNA-sequencing methods to characterize ovarian, prostate, and color cancer models.Martin McIntosh, Ph.D., is a Full Member at the Fred Hutchinson Cancer Research Center in Seattle, WA, and Principal Investigator of the Computational Proteomics Laboratory. His research is largely split between computational and laboratory activities involving a range of technologies for large-scale molecular profiling, including RNA sequencing, metabolomics, and proteomics.
