# NCI Cloud Resources

[NCI Cloud Resources](https://datacommons.cancer.gov/analytical-tools) are components of the [NCI Cancer Research Data Commons](https://datacommons.cancer.gov/) that bring data and computational power together to enable cancer research and discovery.

Our current experience in using NCI Cloud Resources for cancer image analysis is summarized in the following preprint:
