Oncoscape accelerates exploration and hypothesis generation by uniting clinical and molecular data to advance understanding of cancer biology and improve patient care. We have developed powerful analysis and visualization tools that will integrate with existing data analysis workflows and create a mechanism for sharing cross-disciplinary research and developments.
Through its easy point-and-click browser interface, Oncoscape is an essential tool for clinicians and researchers interested in:
- Comparing patient populations across a variety of attributes, both molecular (gene expression levels, gene alterations (CNV, IHC, sequencing, expression)), and clinical (treatment regimens, diagnostics, outcomes)
- Defining cohorts based on selected traits – identifying “patients like me”
- Aligning patient histories according to timeline events: diagnosis, treatment, progression, survival
- Performing powerful and integrated statistical analysis: Principal Component Analysis, Partial least squares regression, Kaplan-Meier curves, enrichment scores
- Creating high quality visualizations of molecular/clinical data
Decoding Cancer: Join us in Creating the next Generation Diagnostic Platform
By providing a platform equipped with rich data, powerful statistics and a simple interface, Oncoscape not only empowers users to quickly answer questions themselves but also expedites the process of discovering novel patterns and relationships. This can lead to numerous possible findings, including optimized drug therapies for individual patients, identification of novel regulatory pathways, or even the need to reassess adherence strategies.
While researchers and clinicians now gather millions of bits of data per patient or per experiment, that data is often held in silos by different groups. It takes analysts using powerful computational skills to make sense of the data, and experts whose knowledge spans diverse fields to translate such findings into clinical action. Oncoscape is developed at Fred Hutch in Seattle, a city known for its growing collaborative and innovative biotech industry.
“The most exciting thing about software is that it opens up science to everyone. When you have a tool like Oncoscape, you begin to see things you never knew existed because you didn’t know how to look for them.”
Dr. Holland, the director of Human Biology at Fred Hutch
