TimeItemWhoNotes

Immunology UpdateCherylProvided list of genes for Immuno panel to Matt/Philip - these will be most common across studies - assay is standard and gene list is fixed. Potential data sets in 3 months once panel starts producing data.

ImagingPaulaAmy is still acquiring images from sites. Working on acquiring different imaging data types besides MRI and H&E as well (COTC007B).

Clinical/PathologyCherylValue spaces are in groundrules and guidelines.  Different range for normal for various chemistry tests - will use normal vs. abnormal instead of absolute values. Standards still evolving.

GenomicsDawn/Allison/HeatherDiscussions about potential normal germline data sets to be included in pipeline to be used in analysis (from Elaine). Challenges: what kind of data do we want to include; many different pipelines/pathways used - hesitant to say what best is. Shaying has done most normalization and is providing her pipeline parameters as baseline suggestion.  Will have table of tools and parameters for a pipeline with suggestions for tweaks. Interactions with Seven Bridges Genomics to establish pipeline.  Data harmonization - goal is to combine germline data set effort with genomic data harmonization effort due to overlap. Internal deadlines set for editing and reviewing documents.

NCI updateTobyNed Sharpless asked about ICDC - told him about the demo from SBG.  He wants to be brought up to date on ICDC/SBG. He will be getting in touch with CBIIT for a demonstration. Todd heard from Tony Kerlavage and will arrange.
