Cancer Bioinformatics Services (CBS)

Cancer Bioinformatics Services (CBS) provides comprehensive bioinformatics support for translational genomics at UPMC Hillman Cancer Center.

CBS provides support for all aspects of genomics studies, from experimental design to data analysis to publication, and for all genomic Next Generation Sequencing (NGS) applications, including RNA Seq, WES, WGS, ATAC Seq, single cell RNA Seq, spatial transcriptomics, immune-oncology studies, neoantigen prediction, microbiome 16S rRNA-gene amplicon and metagenomics shotgun sequencing.

CBS also works closely with the computing resources such as the Pittsburgh Supercomputing Center (PSC) and the University of Pittsburgh’s Center for Research Computing (CRC) to provide infrastructure support for team science projects. CBS teaches genomics classes and mentors high school students to post-doctoral scholars. CBS supports small projects to larger team science projects such as UPMC Hillman SPOREs and consortia projects, such as the Breast Cancer Research Foundation’s AURORA metastatic cancer project.
