Science Spotlight: MaGIC

Welcome to the Science Spotlight, where we highlight the scientific advancements made possible by our consortia and data commons.

In this Science Spotlight, MaGIC highlights three Department of Defense grants they have recently received in their core areas of research: clinical research, clinical trial development, and biologic research. Each grant is an example of the collaborative innovation and team science made possible by participation in MaGIC. The clinical and genomic data resulting from all of these projects will, of course, be fed back into the GCT data commons, which continues to grow thanks to the hard work of MaGIC members and the PCDC team.
