+Past project maintainers included scientists at the Center for Data-Driven Discovery in Biomedicine and the Department of Biomedical and Health Informatics at CHOP.
+We invite researchers to join OpenPedCan to help rigorously characterize the genomic landscape of these diseases to enable more rapid discovery of additional mechanisms contributing to the pathogenesis of pediatric cancer and overall accelerate clinical translation on behalf of patients.
