STEPUPIORS online training “Online cBioPortal Workshop for Users and Data Loaders” was held on June 4, 2025 and was attended by 27 participants from IORS, NKI-AVL, FRCB-IDIBAPS and BRFAA/NKUA.
This interactive workshop was focused on cBioPortal, a powerful open-source platform for exploring and visualizing multidimensional cancer genomics data. It provided a great synergy of theoretical background and hands-on practice, perfect for both researchers exploring cancer data and data managers preparing datasets for integration.
Workshop highlights:
Overview of cBioPortal as a data integration platform
In-depth explanation of supported data formats
Hands-on data loading into a local cBioPortal instance
Insight into real-world FAIR data management challenges and solutions
A big thank you to the speakers and training organizer from the NKI-AVL Dr. ir. Mariska Bierkens, Dr. Adria Closa Mosquera, Iris Huitink and Dr Remond Fijneman, and to all the participants and future cBioPortal data loaders.
