Data Science Training Resource Launches

Cancer researchers and trainees can use this resource to fill gaps in their data science skills.

The Trans-Divisional Research Program (TDRP) conducts and facilitates trans-Divisional research in cancer epidemiology, genetics, and prevention across DCEG. TDRP accomplishes its mission by:

Identifying new trans-Divisional research opportunities and directions for the Division
Coordinating Connect for Cancer Prevention, a new prospective study for the Division and broader scientific community
Building collaborative data platforms and tools for large-scale epidemiological research, following Findable, Accessible, Interoperable, Reusable (FAIR) principles
Coordinating task forces in order to facilitate implementation of the DCEG strategic plan
Supporting interdisciplinary working groups to facilitate trans-Divisional research

TDRP Areas of Research and Responsibility

Strategic Research Directions

Peter Kraft, Ph.D. (TDRP), TDRP Director
Maria Teresa Landi, M.D., Ph.D. (ITEB/TDRP), Senior Advisor for Genomic Epidemiology

Coordinating Center for the Connect for Cancer Prevention Study

Mia Gaudet, Ph.D. (TDRP/CCC), Senior Scientist
Nicolas Wentzensen, M.D., Ph.D., M.S., Principal Investigator

FAIR is written with each letter in a large circle. The circles point down to boxes reading Findable, Accessible, Interoperable, and Reusable, respectively, with an icon in each box.

With Big Data Come Big Responsibilities

DCEG investigators are implementing FAIR principles across the Division by building collaborative data platforms and software tools for large-scale epidemiological research.
