New WCG project: Mapping Cancer Markers



The Mapping Cancer Markers (MCM) project aims to comprehensively and systematically discover clinically useful markers to aid early cancer detection, identification of high-risk patients, and prediction of treatment response.

Research Associates from the Princess Margaret Cancer Center, Toronto, describe their volunteer-powered Mapping Cancer Markers project on World Community Grid. The project aims to identify molecular markers associated with various types of cancer. This will help researchers develop ways to detect cancer earlier and design more personalized cancer care.
