Department/Directorate Information The Centre for Immunotherapy of Cancer (CIC) aims to increase communication between clinicians and scientists with an interest in translational immunotherapy. We are a virtual centre, bringing together staff and students from the ICR and our partner hospital, The Royal Marsden. Data Science and AI With the increasing size and complexity of genomic, transcriptomic and proteomic data sets generated from patient samples and pre-clinical models, bioinformatic tools have become increasingly important for data analysis and deconvolution. Bioinformatic methods of network modelling and integrative data analysis work towards finding molecular patterns that describe active signalling pathways and identifying antigenic determinants that drive tumour immunogenicity, all of which aid in the design of personalized treatments.
