## Abstract

Harold C. Simmons Cancer Center 
Bioinformatics Shared Resource (Research Design and Data Analytics Resources) 
Project Summary/Abstract 
The Cancer Center Bioinformatics Shared Resource (CCBSR) facility serves as a cutting-edge bioinformatics 
resource for cancer center members providing bioinformatics research design, data analysis and management 
support for basic, translational and clinical cancer research in the Simmons Cancer Center. The facility has a 
team of personnel with expertise in bioinformatics, computer science, imaging analysis, statistical genetics and 
genomics, database development and data management. The CCBSR works closely with other Cancer Center 
Shared Resources and institutional core facilities to provide complementary support for the Cancer Center 
Scientific Programs and Disease-Oriented Teams. As a newly-established Cancer Center Shared Resource, 
the CCBSR has helped the Cancer Center to achieve its mission in providing high-quality bioinformatics and 
analysis support for the Cancer Center Scientific Programs and Disease-Oriented Teams. CCBSR personnel 
have been actively involved in all cancer research programs. Since 2010, the CCBSR has assisted more than 
90 Cancer Center Investigators across all scientific programs with high-quality bioinformatics and analysis 
support, which has led to 60 peer-reviewed scientific publications, including 7 papers published in Nature, 
Science, Cell and Lancet. In addition to their individual research projects, the core members play critical roles 
in 7 large active multi-investigator cancer grants, including the UT Lung SPORE. The CCBSR has developed 
several clinical databases and web-based analysis tools to facilitate the effective storage, retrieval, and 
analysis of clinical and laboratory data collected by Cancer Center investigators and Cores, which are essential 
to the success of translational cancer research programs. The CCBSR also organizes a weekly CCBSR 
research seminar and workshop series on new advances in bioinformatics and computational biology, as well 
as a CCBSR bi-weekly Tech Talk series focusing on new bioinformatics techniques and software development.
