Defeating every child's cancer through shared genomic data
The UC Santa Cruz Treehouse Childhood Cancer Initiative enables sharing of pediatric cancer genomic data. But more than that, it makes it possible to analyze a child's cancer data against both childhood and adult patient cohorts across all types of cancer. This "pan-cancer" analysis of adult and pediatric tumors may identify situations where an adult drug is predicted to work on a subset of pediatric patients.

We are so proud of the TUBI 2026 cohort!
TUBI is a research program at assumed at engaging undergraduates in bioinformatics and cancer research 🎗️
Thanks to the Degree Defining Experience program for funding the program and to for supporting our undergraduate leaders!

Thank you to our five incredible alumni who joined us for the Treehouse Undergraduate Bioinformatics Immersion (TUBI) alumni panel!
TUBI provides a quarter-long research experience for undergraduate students to encourage them to explore STEM fields. It was great to hear from our alumni panelists about their unique contributions to scientific and medical progress, not only through research and clinical lab work, but also through leadership, marketing, and science communication.
It was a rich conversation that left both the current TUBI participants and the panelists themselves feeling inspired by what the others were doing!
Each TUBI researcher has a story worth sharing, and we hope to hear from more at future events ❤️
Special thank you to the Degree Defining Experience Program and for funding this year’s TUBI cohort and to .ucsc , , for organizing the event!
