Leadership in Genomics
NCI funds UCSC Cancer Genomics Hub
UC Santa Cruz has built a large-scale data repository and user portal for the National Cancer Institute's cancer genome research programs. In the video above, bioinformatics expert David Haussler and clinical oncologist Christopher Benz discuss the role of genomics in the development of personalized cancer care.
Additional video: See the panel discussion on the genetics of cancer at the 2011 Foundation Forum, featuring David Haussler; J. Michael Bishop, University Professor and chancellor emeritus at UCSF; and Arthur D. Levinson, chairman and former CEO of Genentech.
