At the 2021 Virtual NF Conference, hosted by the Children’s Tumor Foundation, three members of the NF-OSI from Sage Bionetworks presented posters. Senior Scientist Robert Allaway presented a poster reflecting on the new features and tools available on the NF Data Portal developed in the last three years. Data Curator Brynn Zalmanek, presented on a new collaborative project with the Gilbert Family Foundation to develop a database and web application to explore NF1 mouse models, cell lines, antibodies, and other research tools . Senior Scientist Jineta Banerjee presented two posters – one looking at COVID-19 occurrence in people with NF1 in the National COVID Cohort Collaborative dataset, and the other looking at predictive modeling to identify drugs for malignant peripheral nerve sheath tumors.
We’ve also made these posters available alongside recordings of their presentations. Check them out:
