Since 2001, the National Cancer Institute Center for Bioinformatics (NCICB) has provided the interoperable biomedical informatics infrastructure, tools, and data that biomedical communities need for research, prevention and care.
Our core infrastructure forms a platform for more specific biomedical informatics tools, applications and activities we undertake in support of research initiatives — as well as for demonstration projects conducted by NCI groups and the broader biomedical research community. Our Applications Support function provides support and training for NCI staff and members of the cancer research community utilizing NCICB infrastructure, tools, applications, and activities.
NCICB plays a lead role in bioinformatics and information technology within the National Cancer Institute and serves as a focal point for cancer research informatics planning worldwide. NCICB's distinctive open access, standards-based technical approach is coupled with a firm commitment to collaboration across disciplines, institutions, and sectors. The Center spearheads critical public-private partnerships to develop and disseminate informatics for managing, analyzing, and sharing the wealth of information generated in the fight against cancer.
