Early this year, Génome Québec, Oncopole and IVADO joined forces to launch the “Omics Data Against Cancer” (ODAC) competition.
Genomics and the study of cancer are two particularly complex fields of life science research, involving many challenges. To find solutions, researchers generate massive quantities of data that are difficult to interpret. Digital intelligence tools and methods enable the exploration of these large data sets and ultimately the extraction of the information necessary for a better understanding of life science, and therefore the fight against cancer.
The aim of this competition was therefore precisely to promote multidisciplinary research in artificial intelligence, omics and oncology in order to support the development of AI applications and methodologies to better mine cancer research data sets.
Today, the three organizations are proud to announce the winners of this competition and to present their projects.
