Informatics at the ICR

Cancer is a complex, ever-changing set of diseases. To truly understand and beat cancer, we must have a comprehensive view of all its facets. New technologies allow us to gather data on all these views of cancer at scale. As a result, computational research is now at the forefront in our battle against cancer.

Here at the ICR, we are leading in innovative cancer informatics. From mapping the paths of cancer evolution, to the design and discovery of novel drugs, to the precision tailoring of radiation therapy. Informatics research at the ICR spans bioinformatics and computational biology, biostatistics, mathematical biology, in-silico medicinal chemistry, digital pathology and computational physics.
