Use the data provided or combine with external datasets to create a data-driven project that will advance the field of NF research.
Examples:
Drugs and Targets
Following the recent approval of Koselugo, the first-ever drug approved for NF, use the data provided to identify new promising targets, drugs or drug combinations, biomarkers that could be used for prevention, diagnosis or prognosis. Integrate NF data with external datasets to find common traits or a potential new way to intervene in disease progression.
Imaging
Use the Whole-Body MRI dataset provided, including sequential scans to improve on an existing segmentation algorithm for accuracy in measuring tumors, or identify different tumor types.
Analytical tools
Data Analysis App: Create an application to interactively analyze NF Data Portal data or other open NF data using machine learning or other cutting edge computational methods to help guide NF researchers and clinicians to their next big breakthrough! Submissions in this category will be eligible to be listed on the Tools page of the NF Data Portal.
