Specific Aim 6: Advance translational research in driving cancer biology research projects in breast cancer, ovarian cancer, and melanoma. Include research community throughout the design of the platform and its evaluation. Disseminate freely available software.

Impact: The proposed work will produce novel methods for extracting detailed phenotype information directly from the EMR, the major source of such data for patients with cancer. Extracted phenotypes will be used in three ongoing translational studies with a precision medicine focus. Dissemination of the software will enhance the ability of cancer researchers to abstract meaningful clinical data for translational research. If successful, systematic capture and representation of these phenotypes from EMR data could later be used to drive clinical genomic decision support.
