Overview
We developed a comprehensive database and web portal that harmonizes patient-derived cancer model data across multiple institutions. The platform enables researchers to efficiently search, compare, and utilize critical research resources that were previously scattered across different systems.
Key Features
- Unified Data Access: Centralized platform for PDX, organoid, and cell line models
- Advanced Search: Sophisticated filtering and comparison capabilities
- Data Harmonization: Standardized attributes across different model types
- User Management: Role-based access for authorized researchers
Tech Stack
- JHipster: Application generator for rapid full-stack development
- Spring Boot: Backend framework with REST API
- Angular: Frontend with responsive design
- PostgreSQL: Primary database for model relationships
- AWS: Cloud infrastructure with Elastic Beanstalk deployment
