September is #ChildhoodCancerAwarenessMonth, a time to recognize the urgent need for better treatments and outcomes for kids with cancer. In our latest blog, we’re highlighting a few researchers who have drawn on the Data Lab’s resources in their remarkable efforts to accelerate new cure discovery!

This fall, the Data Lab is hitting the road to present some of our tools and projects during these exciting events. Here’s where you can find us! 🧵

What can #PediatricCancer researchers expect from a Data Lab workshop? ✅ Interactive, hands-on training ✅ Instructors who take the time to understand your research goals ✅ Ongoing support with opportunities for 1:1 consultation, even after the workshop ends!

Our #ReproducibleResearch Practices workshop teaches tools and techniques to help #PediatricCancer researchers work more efficiently, collaboratively, and reproducibly. The next course is taking place November 6–7, 2025, in Philadelphia, PA. 🧵

Here’s what you’ll get with each dataset you download from the #SingleCell #PediatricCancer Atlas (ScPCA) Portal…for free! -Unfiltered, filtered & processed counts -QC report -Associated metadata -Reliable cell type annotations

📣 Join the Open #SingleCell #PediatricCancer Atlas (OpenScPCA) project. Grants are available! We aim to annotate cell types for 19 projects on the ScPCA Portal. Explore the grant table to see which cancer types need your insight: github.com/AlexsLemonade/OpenScPCA-analysis/discussions/1062.

We’ve made exciting updates to the #SingleCell #PediatricCancer Atlas (ScPCA) Portal, making the available data even more robust, reliable, and useful for the research community! 🧵

Thank you to everyone who joined us to learn advanced topics in #SingleCell #RNAseq analysis this week. We look forward to hosting more researchers at our workshops this year.

We teamed up with the Treehouse Childhood Cancer Initiative at @ucscgenomics.bsky.social to deliver a custom workshop on reproducible research. In our new blog, Dr. Holly Beale, Lead Computational Biologist at Treehouse, shares how their team is putting new skills into practice. Read the full story!

Design and engineering teams utilize use cases to build a shared understanding of what a product does and how users might interact with it. In our latest blog post, our #UX Designer details the unique way we apply use cases to guide smarter design decisions—right from the start of a project!

The Data Lab is exploring new topics to expand our training program! We invite #PediatricCancer researchers who work with high-dimensional data to take a 10-min survey that will help shape future learning opportunities for the community. 🚀 Take our survey! forms.gle/J9YztY4r5BQ1ch66A

Consensus cell types are now available on the #SingleCell #PediatricCancer Atlas (ScPCA) Portal! 🧵

🚨 Attention #SingleCell #PediatricCancer Atlas (ScPCA) Portal users! The Portal (scpca.alexslemonade.org) will be temporarily unavailable during scheduled updates starting May 7 at 7 PM EST. Stay tuned! We’ve got exciting ScPCA news to share once we're back online.

The ALSF Data Lab and Grants teams are at #AACR25! Interested in learning how we can support your #PediatricCancer research? Connect with us at booth 3706.

Applications are still open for our Advanced #SingleCell #RNASeq workshop! Topics include: -Integrating multiple single-cell RNA-seq libraries -Differential expression analysis -Working with CITE-Seq data -Pathway analysis Learn more and apply! ⬇️ www.ccdatalab.org/blog/data-la...

We are heading to the #AACR Annual Meeting soon! You'll find us at booth 3706 from April 27-30. Stop by to learn about grants, collaborative projects, upcoming workshops and more. We're also presenting the Open #SingleCell #PediatricCancer Atlas during a poster session. More details below!

This week, we brought our training program to the Treehouse #ChildhoodCancer Initiative at @ucscgenomics.bsky.social! We designed a workshop just for their team, covering #ReproducibleResearch practices, collaborative project management with Git/GitHub, analytical code review and more!

We’re excited to announce two opportunities for #PediatricCancer researchers to build their skills in #SingleCell #RNASeq data analysis this summer! Applications are open for our introductory and advanced workshops. 🧵

Hear from Drs. Eric Wafula and Elena Vasileva who sat down with us to share their experiences at Data Lab training workshops! Learn why they believe our #SingleCell #RNASeq courses are essential for #PediatricCancer researchers who want to perform their own analysis.

RESEARCH NEWS🔬🎉 We are thrilled to announce the funding of two groundbreaking research projects focusing on early detection and innovative treatments for children predisposed to cancer. Check out the details in our press release> www.alexslemonade.org/newsroom/new...

We recently announced new ways to participate in the Open #SingleCell #PediatricCancer Atlas (OpenScPCA) project. Researchers who contribute their expertise may become eligible for a grant! Keep reading for more details about the unique 2025 grant categories. 🧵

When we launched OpenScPCA, we also started an analysis module for future contributors to reference. Our Data Scientist, Ally Hawkins, shares how she planned, developed, and collaborated with experts to annotate cell types for #EwingSarcoma samples on the #SingleCell #PediatricCancer Atlas Portal.

Are you attending the 2025 #AACR Annual Meeting? Find us in the exhibit hall at booth 3706 from April 27-30! Learn about grants, collaborative projects, workshops and more. We are also presenting the Open #SingleCell #PediatricCancer Atlas during a poster session on April 28. More details below!
