Researchers looking to aggregate and harmonize genomic data—a critical undertaking that would empower translational research in pediatric oncology—will face technical complexities that exceed the challenges of enabling interoperability between electronic health record systems, said Jinghui Zhang, the St. Jude Endowed Chair in Bioinformatics and chair of the Department of Computational Biology at St. Jude Children’s Research Hospital.
In 1996, Lei Zheng, a graduate of Peking Union Medical College, enrolled in the doctorate program at what was then known as the Cancer Therapy & Research Center in San Antonio.
