Case Studies

We’ve participated in projects from small to large. We welcome the chance to collaborate with you and bring your data into the future with the Overture stack!

Kids First Data Resource Center

The Kids First Data Resource Center brings together clinical and genetic data from pediatric cancer and structural birth defect cohorts into a centralized, cloud-based discovery portal. We created a collaborative, community focused portal that brings together researchers, health professionals, and patients to accelerate discoveries that improve the lives of pediatric patients and their families.

ICGC Data Portal

The International Cancer Genome Consortium (ICGC) is a global initiative to build a comprehensive catalog of mutations in the major tumor types. The portal currently contains data from 86 worldwide cancer projects, collectively representing about molecular data from over 22,000 donors with more than 80 million somatic mutations accessible to researchers.
  • Interoperability with distributed data repositories including AWS S3 and Cancer Genome Collaboratory
  • Beautiful and informative genomic visualizations
  • In-browser analysis on cancer genomic data

Cancer Genome Collaboratory

The Cancer Genome Collaboratory is an academic compute cloud resource that allows researchers to run complex analysis operations across large ICGC cancer genome datasets as well as their own data. One petabyte of ICGC data is co-located with elastic compute enabling researchers to bring analysis tools to the data for faster discovery.
  • Self-service cloud computing made affordable
  • Convenient usage tracking for Openstack
  • Accelerate research by bringing analysis to the data

Billing & Usage
Track and manage compute usage on an Openstack tenant to streamline customer billing operations.
Enrolment
Automatically manage user enrolment to a project, as well as supporting user self-registration.

Human Cancer Models Initiative

The Human Cancer Models Initiative Searchable Catalog is an interactive catalog of purchasable next-generation, tumor-derived organoids and cell lines. The catalog is supported by a custom content management system for entry and validation of clinical and genomic data. Investigate individual model pages for licensing requirements, molecular features, culturing requirements and purchasing details.
  • Customized “shopping” experience for researchers to browse innovative cancer models
  • Models annotated with genomic and clinical data
