CPDM supports the characterization of patient derived models using various genomic and molecular approaches. Our standard approaches include:
- Targeted Cancer Panel (ModelSeq)
- Lineage Marker Expression NanoString panel (ModelExpress)
- Low Pass WGS (ModelLP)
- WES, WGS, RNASeq
- STR Fingerprinting
- Histopathology
- In vitro Cell Viability Assay with PDX/PDCL in our semi-automated IncuCyte S3 live cell imaging platform and Tecan D300e drug dispensing platform
- In vivo Studies with PDX/PDCL
Once characterization data is acquired, data will be uploaded to a private instance of cBioPortal for analysis and visualization.
