🧫 Preclinical Disease Models
The Preclinical Disease Models facility provides researchers with validated model systems to study cancer biology and evaluate therapeutic candidates before clinical translation. The platform encompasses both cell-based and organism-based approaches, enabling investigators to assess drug responses, resistance mechanisms, and combination strategies in controlled experimental settings. All work is conducted under institutional ethical oversight with emphasis on the 3Rs principles.
