Genomic Data Commons (GDC)

The Genomic Data Commons (GDC) is a secure online platform that collects, organizes, and shares large amounts of genetic and health data from cancer research. It helps scientists and doctors access detailed genetic information from tumors and healthy tissues to better understand cancer's causes and develop targeted treatments. By providing a centralized resource, the GDC accelerates research, ensuring data is consistently stored and easily shared among researchers worldwide, ultimately aiming to improve cancer diagnosis, prevention, and therapy.
