Biomedical Informatics Without Borders: From Collaboration to Implementation

A Joint Conference of the U.S. National Cancer Institute and the U.K. National Cancer Research Institute Informatics Initiative

This is the 3rd successive year of the joint conference. Like every year, the conference will showcase the close collaboration of the two programmes to develop interoperable tools and technologies and provide an update on their progress and current status. With both projects well into their implementation phase, the focus this year will be on sharing experiences, addressing obstacles and showing the way forward to facilitate biomedical research and deliver personalised cancer medicine.
