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.

Cracking the Cancer Code
Team Science!
In this episode we discuss how modern cancer research increasingly requires collaboration between traditional lab scientists and computational experts from the earliest stages of study design. The episode challenges the common misconception that data scientists only analyze data after collection, highlighting how early involvement of computational experts can strengthen experimental design and ultimately lead to more robust cancer research.
