The multicentered effort, led by investigators at the Center for Data Driven Discovery in Biomedicine at the Children’s Hospital of Philadelphia, includes partners from Washington, D.C.-based Children’s National Health System, Portland-based Oregon Health & Science University and University of Chicago Medicine.
The research team will integrate disparate data sources to create a centralized genomic and clinical database. The database will serve as a resource for biomedical researchers, clinicians, data scientists and other pediatric investigators looking to explore genetic abnormalities that underlie childhood cancer and birth defects.
