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.

The Magic of Proteogenomics Explained Series: CPTAC Proteogenomics Program

Since its first mention in the scientific literature in 2004 by Jaffe et al1, the term proteogenomics has been shrouded in mystery and thick technical language.  It is a complex idea, but one that is gaining traction as its value to improve our understanding of cancer development and potentially guide novel treatment strategies is being uncovered.

CPTAC Develops a New Technique (BASIL) to Enhance Phospho Sensitivity from a Small Population of Cells (feasibility on human pancreatic islets)

Phosphorylation is a key process in the regulation of protein activity and has long been appreciated as an essential mechanism for the control of cellular function - tells a protein where to go, what to bind to and even when to die.

CPTAC Releases Lung Adenocarcinoma (LUAD) Proteomic Dataset

The Clinical Proteomic Tumor Analysis Consortium (CPTAC) is pleased to release its newest comprehensive dataset - deep proteomic/phosphoproteomic data and imaging data of Lung Adenocarcinoma (LUAD) patient tumors.  The CPTAC Tumor Characterization Program uses proteogenomic analysis to systematically identify proteins that derive from alterations in cancer genomes and related biological processes and provide this data with accompanying assays, reagents and protocols to the public that allows a wider group of scientists to extend and accelerate knowledge in unanticipated directions.

Congratulations to the Best Performers of the precisionFDA/NCI-CPTAC Crowdsourced Multi-omics Sample Mislabeling Correction Big Data Challenge

Riding the wave of the future requires scientists to move away from silo-thinking to an inclusive and collaborative mind set. By leveraging the power of crowdsourcing, precisionFDA and NCI-CPTAC teamed up to launch the Multi-omics Enabled Sample Mislabeling Correction Big Data Challenge. Over 500 participants from 20 countries joined the call to develop computational algorithms that would identify multi-omics samples that were switched prior to or during data processing and analysis. By looking at genomic, transcriptomic and proteomic datasets mined from a several single-subject cases,...

Perspective on the clinical potential of mass spectrometry-based proteogenomics

Is DNA sequencing enough to recommend personalized treatments for cancer patients? In a article published in Nature Reviews Clinical Oncology, CPTAC investigators and colleagues from the Fred Hutch, Baylor College of Medicine, and University of Washington Medicine make the case for proteogenomics - analysis of the genomic and proteomic changes in cancer tumors.
