Case Studies
1. Commercialising a database
The advancing genomic revolution was increasing the rate of cancer mutational data available in 2013 and at the same time, the cancer research community needed an accurate centralised database to aggregate and interrogate data. We needed to protect, organise and curate this precious data. Our solution was to commercialise the COSMIC database.
2. The global fight against malaria
Despite much progress that has been made to battle malaria, it remains a significant global healthcare challenge. Sanger’s researchers work towards the application of Sanger’s science in a number of areas such as drug discovery, vaccine discovery, epidemiological surveillance, diagnostics and precision medicine. This case study describes three ambitious Sanger projects focused on battling malaria.
