Background:
Preparing medical students for translational research and data-driven decision-making remains a major challenge in modern medical education.
Objective:
This study evaluated the didactic potential of cBioPortal to teach core competencies in translational research within two different educational settings.
Methods:
At two German universities, cBioPortal was integrated into existing modules using institution-specific instructional designs and evaluated using student and instructor feedback.
Results:
Students at both institutions developed essential translational research competencies.
Discussion:
The platform effectively supported the development of data literacy and translational thinking, though learning outcomes varied depending on didactic framing.
Conclusion:
cBioPortal is a flexible and effective platform for teaching translational research, supporting curricula that prepare future physicians for data-driven and personalized medicine.
