Overview of ORIEN Research, Utilizing Avatar Data, and Opportunities for Collaboration
Speakers: Michelle Churchman, PhD, Scientific Director Aster Insights
Hosted by: Biospecimen Collection & Banking Core
Description: The Oncology Research Information Exchange Network (ORIEN) and its partnering engine, Aster Insights, have developed rich clinical and molecular data resources that are unparalleled by other publicly available or siloed research datasets. While data-sharing is foundational to ORIEN, the network has developed a strong culture of multidisciplinary collaboration between member institutions. This thought-sharing is instrumental in our collective impact as a research network. Attendees will learn about the breadth and depth of the current data available to ORIEN members, how to explore for hypothesis generation, channels of access for publications or grants, new data modalities becoming available, and how to get plugged into a dynamic network of cross-functional researchers in their areas of interest.
