Although TCGA and TCIA comprise a rich, multi-domain discipline data set, they are in an infrastructure that provides limited query capability. Researchers want to query both databases together to identify cases based on all available data types. Moreover, without common data standards, it's impossible to integrate these data sets with those from digital pathology and co-clinical/small animal model environments.

To address these limitations, the CTIIP team is developing a unified query interface to make it easier to analyze data from different research domains disciplines represented by TCGA, TCIA, and co-clinical/small animal model data. It will also provide a common platform and data engine for the hosting of “pilot challenges.” These pilot challenges will advance biological and clinical research across in a way that also integrates the clinical, preco-clinical/small animal model, and digital pathology imaging research disciplines.
