    Department Description


    The application of cutting-edge data science methods such as artificial intelligence and machine learning are coming at an unprecedented speed, but healthcare has long lagged in adopting new methodologies and maximizing the utilization of the underlying data.

    To stay ahead of the curve, the UCSF Helen Diller Family Comprehensive Cancer Center (HDFCCC) and the Bakar Computational Health Sciences Institute (BCHSI) have jointly launched the Center for Cancer Data Science (CCDS).

    This initiative brings together subject matter experts in both oncology and data science to conduct the most robust cancer research that is translational, clinically meaningful, and novel.

    To accomplish this goal, the CCDS is assembling a comprehensive cancer data asset repository that brings together and links multi-modal disparate data from across the cancer research and care continuum.

    This data infrastructure is critical for innovative data analysis and the application of sophisticated data science methods. The CCDS has also identified four priority areas that span every stage of cancer research and patient care.

    These areas will drive CCDS's research portfolio and include:
    (1) Basic/Translational Research, (2) Clinical Research, (3) Optimization of Real-World Treatment, and (4) Population Sciences. Finally, CCDS encompasses an education and training component that will provide opportunities for young investigators and help foster the next generation of computational cancer leaders.


    The UCSF Helen Diller Family Comprehensive Cancer Center (HDFCCC) is one of only two cancer centers in the Bay Area to receive the prestigious designation of "comprehensive" from the National Cancer Institute (NCI).

    The HDFCCC integrates the work of researchers and clinicians dedicated to four fundamental pursuits:

    laboratory research into the causes of cancer progression; clinical research to translate new knowledge into viable treatments; compassionate, state-of-the-art patient care; and population research that can lead to improvements in prevention, early detection, and quality-of-life for those living with cancer.

    The twin pillars of precision medicine and precision population health guide research and treatment at HDFCCC.


    The Bakar Computational Health Sciences Institute (BCHSI) is a critical component of a global UCSF initiative in Precision Medicine, which seeks to aggregate and integrate vast, disparate datasets to advance understanding of biological processes, determine mechanisms of disease, and inform diagnosis and treatment of patients.


    Beginning with a base of excellent computational faculty dispersed among our four top-ranked professional schools (Dentistry, Medicine, Nursing and Pharmacy) and Graduate Division, superb research programs and outstanding Medical Center, BCHSI established a central convening center, hires additional faculty, and builds programs for research and education.

    BCHSI develops and enhances UCSF's computational approaches and strategies in basic, translational, clinical and population-based biomedical research, working with partners in industry and academia where appropriate.


    It is a campus hub for computer scientists and for researchers who employ computation as a primary tool in their biomedical research.
