Virtual International Knowledgebase for Thoracic Oncology Research
VIKTOR (Virtual International Knowledgebase for Thoracic Oncology Research)

 VIKTOR (Virtual International Knowledgebase for Thoracic Oncology Research) is a bioinformatics platform that centralizes fragmented preclinical model data for thoracic cancer research. By connecting information from multiple databases to researcher-specific queries, VIKTOR simplifies access to critical knowledge about cell lines and other preclinical models essential for advancing thoracic cancer treatment.

VIKTOR IS ONLY AVAILABLE TO ACTIVE IASLC MEMBERS

Access to VIKTOR, the IASLC’s bioinformatics platform for thoracic cancer research, is available exclusively to active IASLC members.

Join the IASLC today to explore centralized data on preclinical models that accelerate discovery and advance treatment.

About VIKTOR

VIKTOR currently integrates multiple trusted data sources, including Cellosaurus, NeXtProt, PharmacoDB, and Human Protein Atlas (HPA), to provide researchers with centralized access to published thoracic cancer cell line information. The platform's interactive web interface enables researchers to efficiently address critical challenges in thoracic oncology, including drug resistance mechanisms, targeted therapy development, and combination treatment strategies. In future releases, VIKTOR will introduce AI-powered semantic search capabilities to further streamline research workflows and will incorporate unpublished cell lines from IASLC member laboratories, along with organoid, patient-derived xenograft (PDX), and genetically engineered mouse model (GEMM) data.

As a catalyst for the IASLC thoracic oncology community's research priorities, VIKTOR supports individual researchers in their mission to advance patient care through scientific discovery.

IASLC's Basic & Translational Science Committee

The VIKTOR resource is a project of the IASLC's Basic & Translational Science Committee. Through its collective expertise and collaborative efforts, the Basic and Translational Science Committee at the IASLC strives to accelerate scientific discoveries, improve patient outcomes, and ultimately contribute to the global eradication of thoracic malignancies.
