IU Simon Cancer Center (IUCC) initiated the Osteosarcoma Clinical Care and Research Program in 2001. This program is based on Indiana University's expertise in bone research, medical informatics, and proteomics (study of proteins and their interactions within the body). Researchers at Indiana University use the challenges encountered in the clinic to focus the efforts of their research by:

1. Translating discoveries from our research on basic bone biology to understanding the causes and origins of osteosarcoma, as well as improving the treatment of osteosarcoma.
2. Identifying new approaches for the diagnosis and treatment of Osteosarcoma by using cutting-edge tools and information from different areas of research, including Proteomics, Medical Informatics and Data Visualization.

Indiana University's Expertise:

• IUCC conducts cancer research, patient care and education that is recognized around the world and supported by the National Cancer Institute (NCI).
• IU School of Medicine is a world-renown center for bone biology and skeletal disease, and IU scientists have contributed to the development and testing of many new drugs for these disease.
• The IUSM Protein Analysis and Research Center/Proteomics Core provides state-of-the-art proteomic tools for clinical proteomics.
• The Regenstrief Institute, Inc., is an internationally recognized informatics research organization, with one of the largest medical informatics laboratories in the world.
• The Information Visualization Software Repository at the Indiana University, School of Library and Information Science provides top of the line visualization methods.
