SYNOPSIS: The cBio Cancer Genomics Portal 
is an open-access resource for interactive exploration of multidimensional cancer genomics data sets. The portal currently provides integrated access to cancer genomic data on more than 5000 tumor samples from 20 cancer studies. This presentation will provide an introduction to the portal and describe how to mine data generated by The Cancer Genome Atlas (TCGA) project. This is a virtual presentation. Session details ...BIO: Ethan Cerami is the Director of Cancer Informatics Development at the Computational Biology Center at Memorial Sloan-Kettering Cancer Center.

SYNOPSIS: Researchers at Emory University, in collaboration with investigators at the University of Virginia, Henry Ford Hospital, and Thomas Jefferson Hospital, have been working to develop the Visually Accessible Rembrandt Images (VASARI) feature set, a standardized set of qualitative imaging features used to describe high-grade gliomas. Dr. Gutman will discuss current efforts to validate these data sets and present preliminary work on the use of imaging descriptors to stratify patients into subgroups with differential survival or genetic characteristics. Finally, Dr. Gutman will discuss emerging work to develop and validate 3-D, a volumetric-based quantitative assessment of brain tumors. Session details ...BIO: Dr. Gutman is an assistant professor in the department of Biomedical Informatics at Emory, and has a PhD in Neuroscience. Following his psychiatry residency at Emory, he took a position in the Center of Comprehensive Informatics where his work has focused on the analysis of both radiology and pathology images, as well as on developing the informatics infrastructure needed to process and analyze these images efficiently.
