- Cancer Commons and the Melanoma Targeted Therapy Finder just launched its free web application. Built by CollabRx, the app integrates existing data on different forms of Melanoma and ways to access recommended treatments. The Washington Times recently ran a nice feature on Marty Tenenbaum, the man behind CollabRx. Marty was an investor in Medstory and PatientsLikeMe and also one of the inspirations behind the Health 2.0 Accelerator. For the past few years he’s been turning his attention to improving clinical research. The hope is that patients will use this app to learn more about the options available and use this information to better advocate for themselves. Editor of Cancer Commons, George Lundberg, will be on the Research Panel at Health 2.0’s upcoming Spring Fling.
