Open Commons consortium (OCC) a division of the Center for Computational Science Research Inc (CCSR), in collaboration with our partner, Center for Translational Data Science at the University of Chicago were honored to participate in the recent Prometheus Retreat held on July 25, 2025 in Washington DC, where our Director, Robert Grossman, presented the work our team has contributed to the Murtha Cancer Center Data Platform (MC2DP).
We were also thrilled to have Danne Elbers, our Director of Data Science, featured on the Data Panel, where she joined an insightful discussion on the future of data sharing, integration, and analysis across the cancer and exposures research ecosystem.
MC2DP represents a powerful data and compute data mesh developed to support collaborative research across the Prometheus Network. Built on Gen3 data mesh infrastructure, the platform enables secure, scalable, and federated access to diverse datasets used by Working Groups and Data Analysis Teams
MC2DP integrates with a wide network of data sources, including:
VA Veterans Precision Oncology Data Commons (VPODC)
Genomic Data Commons (GDC)
Proteomics Data Commons (PDC)
The Cancer Imaging Archive (TCIA)
Windber DTS System
Metabolomics (via PNNL & Ellison)

OCC is proud to be a core contributor to this effort, advancing the Prometheus Network’s vision for data-driven cancer research through open, interoperable, and privacy-preserving platforms.
We look forward to continued collaboration with our partners in shaping the future of precision oncology.
