What Are Some Examples of Open Science Initiatives in Cancer?
Several initiatives exemplify the principles of Open Science in cancer research. The Cancer Genome Atlas (TCGA) is a landmark project that has generated comprehensive, multidimensional maps of key genomic changes in various types of cancer. Similarly, the International Cancer Genome Consortium (ICGC) aims to obtain a comprehensive description of genomic, transcriptomic, and epigenomic changes in 50 different tumor types. Other examples include the Open Source Drug Discovery (OSDD) initiative and the Cancer Moonshot program, which promote collaborative and open approaches to discovering new treatments.
