Antitumor Assessment

The Antitumor Assessment Core Facility was established in 2003 to provide highly qualified services to foster cancer research and to support early discovery of effective antitumor agents and regimens of therapies at Memorial Sloan Kettering Cancer Center. In particular, the facility provides resources, professional and technical expertise, and advisory services related to the evaluation of agents with potential therapeutic activity. The facility works closely with investigators to establish in vivo mouse models; design and execute pharmacokinetic, toxicity, and in vivo efficacy studies; and determine the best formulation, administration route, and treatment schedule for each new compound, either alone or in combination with other agents.
