Computational Approaches for Cancer at SC17

Research

Publication of this supplement has not been supported by sponsorship. Information about the source of funding for publication charges can be found in the individual articles. The articles have undergone the journal's standard peer review process for supplements. ES is the Frederick National Laboratory for Cancer Research co-program lead for the Joint Design of Advanced Computing Solutions for Cancer (JDACS4C) program. Several of the papers presented in the workshop and included in the supplement are the result of work supported by the JDACS4C program and, as such, ES is listed as a co-author on one of the articles in the supplement but was not involved in its review. SC declares no competing interests.
