NCRI Strategic Framework for Research Informatics in the UK

The avalanche of data and information emerging from cancer research in recent years means that the application of computational tools in cancer research and cancer care has become a vital and rapidly developing field. We are currently not in a position to make maximal use of the existing or future data sets generated by cancer research. There is a unique opportunity to integrate all these different types of data and apply them systematically to improve understanding of cancer and its management and support the commercial exploitation of discoveries emerging from research. The NCRI Strategic Framework for the Development of Cancer Research Informatics in the UK describes a vision of what could be achieved in cancer research informatics in the UK and lays out a structure for achieving this vision.
