Data Scientist

#### Data Scientist, Childhood Cancer Data Lab

#### CCDL Overview

Alex’s Lemonade Stand Foundation (ALSF) is one of the leading funders of pediatric cancer research in the US and Canada. Since its inception in 2005, ALSF has funded more than 1,500 projects at nearly 150 institutions across the United States and Canada.

The Childhood Cancer Data Lab, an initiative of Alex’s Lemonade Stand Foundation, was founded in August 2017 with the mission of empowering pediatric cancer experts poised for the next big discovery with the knowledge, data, and tools to reach it. The Data Lab is comprised of a team of software developers, data scientists and designers who are driven to build software systems, analytical workflows, and training programs in service of this mission. Members of the Data Lab simultaneously contribute to childhood cancer research and to the open science and open source software communities. We build in the open and collaboratively: examples of our work include the Single-cell Pediatric Cancer Atlas (ScPCA) Portal, OpenScPCA, and the Open Pediatric Brain Tumor Atlas (OpenPBTA). As the team grows, we are expanding our scientific capacity to support an international community of pediatric cancer researchers.
