April 2: Cheryl Marks, Ph.D., The Oncology Models Forum: An Interactive Platform for Collaborative Translational Research
The NCI Mouse Models of Human Cancers Consortium has provided a focus on animal cancer models for the last 15 years. However, the program ends in 2014, and a new entity is needed to extend the outreach and educational aspects of the Consortium to support new directions for translational applications of animal models. Dr. Marks will describe a new NCI program, an open Oncology Models Forum. The Forum will provide the cancer research community with a comprehensive resource for information to guide generating, validating, and credentialing new models, informing their practical uses, advancing modeling techniques, and providing catalogs of available models-related resources, programs, and services. The goal of the Forum program will center on effective, reliable use of mice, mouse models, and human-in-mouse models in translational cancer research. Key to the success of the Forum will be use of the HubZero® platform to enable collaborators from anywhere to work together on common problems that pertain to animal models.
