NEW YORK (GenomeWeb) – The Broad Institute announced today that it has partnered with the Biden Cancer Initiative, the Dana-Farber Cancer Institute, the California-based social change group the Emerson Collective, and cancer patients to form a new non-profit cancer research organization called Count Me In.
A non-profit cancer research-sharing organisation called Count Me In has been launched by the Broad Institute, the Biden Cancer Initiative, the Dana-Farber Cancer Institute, the Emerson Collective and cancer patients. The new site will allow people to share their experiences with cancer, as well as information about how they can get involved in research projects that are helping advance research. It will analyse that patient information and distribute it to researchers around the world through databases including the cBioPortal for Cancer Genomics and the National Cancer Institute’s Genomic Data Commons.
