OCCPR: A Leader in Cancer Proteomics and Proteogenomics

The mission of the NCI’s Office of Cancer Clinical Proteomics Research (OCCPR) is to improve prevention, early detection, diagnosis, and treatment of cancer by enhancing the understanding of the molecular mechanisms of cancer, advance proteome and proteogenome science and technology development through community resources (data and reagent), and accelerate the translation of molecular findings into the clinic. This is achieved through OCCPR-supported programs such as the Clinical Proteomic Tumor Analysis Consortium (CPTAC), partnerships with Federal agencies, and collaborations with international organizations/institutions.

One Computational Step in the Journey to Identify Biological Pathways in Cancer

Large multi-omics datasets are becoming increasingly popular for studying biological systems including the identification of biological pathways, or more broadly defined gene sets, that are associated with certain biological or clinical features of interest.

ICPC China Team Comprehensively Characterizes HBV Related Liver Cancer

Hepatocellular carcinoma (HCC), the most common form of liver cancer, occurs most often in people with hepatitis B or C viral (HBV or HCV) infections who drink large amounts of alcohol.  Unlike the recent progress of antiviral-eliminating therapy for HCV, current antiviral therapy is only able to reduce rather than eliminate HBV and is estimated to affect 292 million peop

CPTAC Researchers Develop Novel RAS-Antibodies for the Cancer Research Community through the NCI RAS-Initiative

RAS gene mutations and their pathways have  stymied cancer researchers for decades.  RAS-driven cancers make up more than 30% of all human cancers due to their association with uncontrollable cell growth, death-signal evasion, and drug resistance.  In 2014, the National Cancer Institu

cBioPortal Gets a New Addition: CPTAC Researchers Integrate Mass-Spectrometry Data Into Genomic Platform

Genomics platform cBioPortal offers a “biologist-friendly” resource for querying mutations, copy number variations and gene expression. It contains data from The Cancer Genome Atlas (TCGA) which includes proteomics data in the form of arrays that use antibodies to track protein levels. CPTAC mass spectrometry-based proteomics, however, has more information than the arrays provide.

Low Cell Input? No Problem! CPTAC Researchers Develop Low Sample Input Proteomics Protocol

Proteomic profiling often entails using a large sample input to explore the dynamic nature of protein expression and regulation. However, there are instances when researchers have the opposite due to prior methodology such as fluorescence activated cell sorting (FACS) or when dealing with patient samples.
