Biomarker Sciences Program

The Biomarker Sciences Program exists to support the clinical research of the two other scientific programs in the ECOG-ACRIN Cancer Research Group (ECOG-ACRIN). This program contains five scientific groups, by specialty: the Data Science Committee, Developmental Therapeutics Committee, Imaging Diagnostics and Biomarker Committee, Laboratory Science and Pathology Committee, and Germline Genomics Committee. Together, researchers in this program:

• Evaluate and integrate cross-cutting biologic science opportunities
• Attract basic and translational science from member and external organizations
• Foster translational and correlative science across the Group

The Biomarker Steering Committee, shown below, guides the program and the cross-committee interactions among researchers.
