## Abstract

BIOINFORMATICS – PROJECT SUMMARY/ABSTRACT 
The Bioinformatics Core (BIC) will provide the hardware, software, and critical human expertise infrastructure 
necessary to manage, integrate, analyze, interpret, and disseminate data produced by Cancer Center 
investigators, and will provide much-needed bioinformatics and quantitative training in critically high demand 
among Cancer Center members. The BIC is staffed by experts who have years of collective experience in 
managing and analyzing large-scale, high-throughput biological data. The very nature of cancer research is 
evolving, driven by the ease and plummeting costs of generating vast amounts of sequence, expression, 
structure, and biochemical data. Extracting the most biological meaning from these data will require 
sophisticated bioinformatics expertise that most individual labs do not possess. Further, the size and 
complexity of these data requires robust data management planning, and funding agencies often require 
permanent archival and rapid public dissemination of high-throughput data to the broader cancer research 
community. Additionally, as cancer research continues to become more data-intensive, researchers often lack 
the bioinformatics and quantitative training that is increasingly essential. The BIC fills all of these gaps and will 
serve an absolutely essential role in the immediate and long-term realization of the Cancer Center's research 
mission.
