The primary objective of the Quantitative Sciences Core (QSC) is to provide centralized statistical and bioinformatics services, collaborative research and data management support for the research projects and other cores of the Ponce Health Sciences University-Moffitt Cancer Center Partnership. The Core serves as the focal point for quantitative expertise for the design, data management and analysis of Partnership research projects. The QSC supports genomic data generated in collaboration with the Puerto Rico BioBank (PRBB)/Oncology Research Information Exchange Network (ORIEN) Avatar and stores this data in the H/L Bioportal (GLOBAL), a web-based resource.

The QSC develops tools for visualizing and interpreting data, such as ECLA, as well as pipelines to estimate genetic ancestry. The Core includes faculty from the Ponce Health Sciences University and the Biostatistics and Bioinformatics Department of the Moffitt Cancer Center.
