Lurie Cancer Center Team Honored for Contributions to caBIG A team from the Robert H. Lurie Comprehensive Cancer Center of Northwestern University was honored for significant accomplishments and contributions at the cancer Biomedical Informations Grid (caBIG) Annual Meeting 2008 Recognition Awards ceremony in Washington D.C. Pan Du, Gilbert Feng, Dong Fu, Warren Kibbe, Simon Lin, Eric Odulio, Rhett Sutphin, Renee Webb, and Sean Whitaker were presented with the caBIG Delivering Results Award in recognition of superior use of caBIG applications and the use of shared data from caGrid to address specific research questions. Additionally, Rhett Sutphin and Sean Whitaker received the caBIG™ Teamwork Award for their work with the caBIG™ Clinical Trials Suite Team. Dong Fu, Warren Kibbe and Andrew Winter were also presented with the caBIG™ Teamwork Award for their efforts with the Prostate SPORE Informatics Team. Overseen by the National Cancer Institute for Biomedical Informatics and Information Technology, caBIG was conceived to address the needs of all constituencies in the cancer community-researcher, clinicians, patients-to share data and knowledge, simplify collaboration, speed research to get diagnostics and therapeutics from bench to bedside faster and more cost-effectively, and ultimately realize the potential of Personalized Medicine. caBig also addresses a critical problem facing both basic and clinical researchers today-an explosion of data that requires new approaches for collection, management and analysis.
