Through the Institute for Data Science in Oncology (IDSO) Affiliates, talented scientists, clinicians and staff bring diverse expertise to help IDSO leadership and focus area co-leads advance collaborative data science projects and align the institute¡¯s efforts with MD Anderson¡¯s mission to end cancer.     

The affiliates were identified based on their existing contributions to IDSO or were recruited to MD Anderson specifically for their data science expertise. Affiliates are approved for a two-year term based on their qualifications, alignment with and commitment to IDSO projects and focus areas. Faculty and staff at MD Anderson are encouraged to email IDSO@MDAnderson.org if they are interested in becoming an affiliate.
