Cracking the Cancer Code

In an age where data are everywhere, harnessing the power of data science can be a catalyst for groundbreaking discoveries in the fight against cancer. Welcome to the Cracking the Cancer Code podcast where we explore the latest in cancer data science. As a part of the ITCR Training Network (itcrtraining.org), we’re a small team of individuals who are working to democratize data science education in the hopes of catalyzing cancer research and ultimately fighting health inequities in cancer.

The ITCR Training Network (and this podcast) is supported by NCI UE5CA254170 but the views expressed on this podcast are those of the individuals who expressed them and do not reflect the views of our funders.

I am passionate teaching data science and making it fun! I believe that as a part of the data science community, we need to work to become a more inclusive work environment. This would not only create better science, but would widen the circle for individuals who are currently underrepresented in data science.

I’m a part of three main teams:

ITCR Training Network - aims to equip cancer researchers better utilize data to fuel their cancer research.
DataTrail - aims to decrease the racial disparities in data science by providing educational opportunities for underrepresented communities and data science employers.
Fred Hutch Data Science Lab - aims to help coordinate data science and build a supportive community amongst the Fred Hutch Cancer scientists.
