DFCI/BCH/BWH COSMIC Workshop
25 Jun 2019
We are excited to announce the Dana-Farber Cancer Institute (DFCI)/ Boston Children's Hospital (BCH)/ Brigham and Women's Hospital (BWH) COSMIC Workshop on September 20, 2019! This workshop, in conjunction with DFCI, is designed to bring together the clinicians and researchers at DFCI, BCH and BWH, with members of the COSMIC Team to review the valuable COSMIC resource. The workshop will utilize COSMIC to explore cancer variation alongside functional genomic annotations, understand cancer drivers, identify trends in large data sets and discuss how the ever changing genomics landscape will affect future research and research tools such as COSMIC.
