TUMOR Project

Transatlantic TUmour MOdel Repositories

A European research initiative focused on interoperable cancer model repositories, semantic biomedical modelling, in silico oncology, and predictive oncology research.

Digital Cancer Model Infrastructure

Connecting tumour models, repositories, and biomedical knowledge to support computational cancer research.

Project Overview

About the TUMOR Project

The TUMOR project, short for Transatlantic TUmour MOdel Repositories, was created to support the integration of cancer model repositories across European and transatlantic research infrastructures.

Its goal was to help researchers discover, share, compare, and reuse digital tumour models for predictive oncology, computational simulation, and cancer research.

Mission

Project Objectives

TUMOR focused on building bridges between cancer modelling, semantic technologies, clinical research, and model repository systems.

01

Interoperable Repositories

Enable cancer model repositories to communicate, exchange data, and support international research collaboration.

02

Predictive Oncology

Support computational approaches that can help model tumour behaviour and treatment-response scenarios.

03

Semantic Model Access

Use semantic layers to improve the discovery, description, classification, and reuse of biomedical cancer models.
