Patient-Derived Xenograft Core

The primary focus Patient-Derived Xenograft (PDX) Core is to develop, and provide to the Baylor PDX community, computational and bioinformatics infrastructure to support large scale generation, characterization, and use of PDX models. PDX models from a variety of organ sites including brain, bladder, breast, head and neck, leukemia, pancreas, sarcoma and pediatric cancers are available. The core also provides expertise in transplantation and animal handling to those wishing to generate PDX from various cancer types. Finally, the core will coordinate, and assist with, the evaluation of experimental therapeutics using PDX platforms in conjunction with those investigators maintaining PDX collections for each organ/disease type.
