Ride to Conquer Cancer

The Ontario Annual Ride to Conquer Cancer is an epic cycling event to raise money benefiting Princess Margaret Hospital for cancer research. Our team --- IBM-OCI-Roche Integrative Discovery Team --- have raised over $270K between 2008-2013.

Team Ian Ride

Our Team Ian ride from Kingston to Montreal is growing steadily. In 2016 we raised almost $100,000 and crossed an important milestone both in fundraising and research. This ride is in memory of of highly talented and motivated cancer informatics students - Ian Lawson Van Toch.

The colorful front pattern represents molecular cancer profile analyzed with BTSVQ; the protein interaction network on the back was generated with NAViGaTOR software; protein crystal on the lowe right corner is one of the images analyzed at World Community Grid - Help Conquer Cancer project.

For 2011 we will have matching shorts:

colors are gene expressions after clustering with BTSVQ (self-organizing maps with k-means clustering). Red is high expression; blue is low
expression.

crystal - this is one of the images we are processing on the World Community Grid - Help Concquer Cancer project. A large-scale project we started in 11/2007 and will finish in 2011. Preliminary results have been presented in Journal of Structural and Functional Genomics.

two networks - are from the PLoS One paper; and from our newest data portal on microRNA:target prediction mirDIP (powered by IBM). The network itself was done in our visualization software NAViGaTOR.
