Treehouse Childhood Cancer Initiative: Identification of therapeutic leads for individual pediatric cancer patients via pan-cancer analysis

The focal point of this project is comparing genomic data of an individual pediatric patient’s tumor to the genomic data of thousands of pediatric and adult tumors. Although pediatric cancer is rare, by comparing to all the pediatric cancer and adult data possible, similarities can be spotted. These similarities offer information about possible therapeutic directions that can be further researched and validated.
