Developing Molecular Diagnostics for Research
The CMPU aims to ascertain gene function in the context of cell networks and organ systems biopathways. This is approached by developing capabilities in molecular diagnostics and by establishing a teaching laboratory to aid other investigators in building discovery within a tumor biology context. With the Animal Models Initiative Committee, the CMPU seeks to address CCR needs for a comprehensive portfolio of clinical diagnostic and laboratory medicine capabilities to aid longitudinal (when feasible) approaches to credential molecular events occurring in the development, growth and metastasis of experimental cancers in a variety of models.
