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.

Be Part of Tomorrow’s Next-Gen Big Data Scientists (BD-STEP Training Fellowship Announcement)

"Big data" is a term to describe data sets so large or complex that traditional data processing strategies are inadequate. As continued advancements in biomedical technologies generate an increasing amount of patient data, administration of patient-centered care will depend, in part, on the ability to harness relevant insights from this data.

precisionFDA/NCI-CPTAC Challenge Top Performers to Present at RECOMB2019 DREAM Satellite Conference

In February 2019, the precisionFDA and the National Cancer Institute’s (NCI) Clinical Proteomic Tumor Analysis Consortium (CPTAC) (in coordination with DREAM Challenges) proudly announced the best performers in the first-ever Crowdsourced Multi-omics Sample Mislabeling Big Data Challenge.

CPTAC Researchers Develop A Freely Available Database for Phosphosite-Specific Signature Analysis

It is no coincidence that one cellular process is mentioned time and time again in discussions of cell-signaling pathways in cancer - that is phosphorylation. Since its discovery, it has come to be recognized as a global regulator of many intracellular processes such as growth, proliferation, and cell division.

Best Performers Announced! - precisionFDA NCI-CPTAC Crowdsourced Multi-omics Sample Mislabeling Big Data Challenge

In biomedical research, sample mislabeling, or incorrect annotation has been a long-standing problem that contributes to irreproducible results and invalid conclusions. These problems are particularly prevalent in large scale multi-omics studies where human errors could arise during sample transferring, sample tracking, large-scale data generation, and data sharing/management.

Researchers Team Up to Catalog the Landscape of Circular RNA in Cancer

University of Michigan Rogel Cancer Center researchers Arul Chinnaiyan, Alexey Nesvizhskii and colleagues have recently teamed up to catalog circular RNA (circRNA) in multiple cancers and conducted initial research that suggests these stable structures could serve as cancer markers in blood or urine.

CPTAC Develops PepQuery for Novel Peptide Identification and Validation

Integrative proteogenomic methods use mass spectrometry (MS)-based proteomic database for identifying new genomic alterations and validating novel protein sequences as potential disease biomarkers or therapeutic targets. The customized database approach is time consuming and not feasible for real-time web applications.

Update on Behalf of NCI’s Cancer Imaging Program (New CPTAC Histopathology Images)

Built on a continuous partnership between National Cancer Institute’s (NCI’s) Cancer Imaging Program and the Clinical Proteomic Tumor Analysis Consortium (CPTAC), NCI’s The Cancer Imaging Archive (TCIA) releases a newly improved CPTAC histopathology interface. The interface hosts histopathology imaging generated by CPTAC, with matched radiology imaging in TCIA. Significant performance improvements have been made to the platform in response to feedback from the community, providing enhanced functionalities to query pathology report details, download, share and view slide images from...

ICPC Korea University Team Proteogenomically Characterizes Early-Onset Gastric Cancer

The incidence of early-onset gastric cancer (EOGC), a type of cancer that occurs in younger patients and found throughout the stomach, is markedly elevated in the Republic of Korea. As a country with the highest rates worldwide in both sexes, there is a need to identify molecular signatures that can be used to diagnose and treat EOGC.

Proteogenomics Approach Identifies DPYSL3 Gene in Triple-Negative Breast Cancer

Claudin-Low (CLOW) tumors are classified as a subset of triple-negative breast cancers and account for a minority of breast cancer cases. But until now, there has been little study of their unique biological features. Understanding the biology of CLOW tumors is important for designing targeted therapeutic agents to treat highly aggressive breast cancers.
