Biomaterial-Based In Vitro Cancer/Tumor Models for Drug Screening and Diagnostics
Timeslot: Thursday, April 28, 2022 - 1:00pm to 2:30pm
Room: Harborside Ballroom A-B, 4th Floor
About
Biomaterial-based in vitro cancer/tumor models offer a close mimic of the complex tumor microenvironment, providing versatile platforms for drug and toxicology screening as well as diagnostics. The implementation of these preclinical tools can afford low-cost, easy-to-use systems to evaluate cancer treatments, enhancing the efficacy and toxicological assessment for specific patients, mitigating the limitations of current technologies, and expanding the treatment options and patient’s quality of life.
