Data Systems

• Clinical: OncoGrapher
  • OncoGrapher is a powerful tool that streamlines clinical data abstraction, making this process standardized and efficient for all users by minimizing time spent on coding medical terms.
• Biospecimen: Advanced Tissue Management (ATiM)
  •  ATiM was designed and developed by the Canadian Tissue Repository Network (CTRNet) in conjunction with leading Canadian tissue banks specifically for the operation of biobanks. ATiM hosts numerous features, modules, and tools to facilitate better biobanking.
• Genetic/Genomic: cBioPortal
  • cBioPortal is an open-access, open-source resource for the interactive exploration of multidimensional cancer genomics data sets. The cbioportal instance is private and can be accessed at cbioportal.ca. The goal of cBioPortal is to significantly lower the barriers between complex genomic data and cancer researchers by providing rapid, intuitive, and high-quality access to molecular profiles and clinical attributes from large-scale cancer genomics projects, and therefore to empower researchers to translate these rich data sets into biologic insights and clinical applications.
