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.
