Center for Cancer Systems Biology
at Vanderbilt University
| with the Integrated Mathematical Oncology at the Moffitt Cancer Center |  |
The Center for Cancer Systems Biology at Vanderbilt University is a cross-disciplinary, highly-collaborative research and education center. The team of scientists aims to unravel the complexities of cancer progression and drug resistance through the novel application of technology and mathematical modeling. Its investigators expertise span the disciplines of Cancer Biology, Mathematics, Bioinformatics, Engineering, and Computer Science. Our Center is part of NCI’s Integrative Cancer Biology Program (ICBP), which is the NCI’s primary effort in cancer systems biology, a field that is rapidly seen as an essential component in the future of cancer research.

Vanderbilt Researchers Win National Library of Medicine Award
The National Library of Medicine (NLM) has named a software program developed by Vanderbilt researchers as one of the most innovative uses of the Library’s resources. In the national competition, the Library selected GLAD4U—Gene List Automatically Derived for You—as one of five winners. Jerome Jourquin, Bing Zhang, and Dexter Duncan, from the Department of Biomedical Informatics, developed the free, web-based software, which helps users answer such questions as “Which genes are related to breast cancer?” The winners of the challenge, “Show off Your Apps: Innovative Uses of NLM Information,” presented their findings in Washington, D.C., at an awards ceremony where White House Chief Technology Officer Aneesh Chopra presented the award. The presentations were broadcast live and can be viewed at http://videocast.nih.gov/Summary.asp?File=16948.
