Ride to CONQUER CANCER - An annual Event

The Toronto to Niagara 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" --- raised over $250K in 2008-2009-2010-2011. Please, join us when we ride again in 2012, or consider supporting the fund-raisers.

If you can, please join or support "Team Ian" and ride with us in July from Montreal to Quebec City. This ride is in memory of one of the 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.
