Center for Patient Derived Models

Advances in our ability to make cancer models from individual patients have created a great opportunity and a new need to incorporate individual patient model generation into clinical trials of experimental therapies. We can now use these models to test therapeutics almost in real time — to identify what therapy the patient may or may not be likely to respond to and therefore, have real potential to change cancer care.

​The Center for Patient Derived Models (CPDM) facilitates model availability and quality for Dana-Farber investigators and the wider cancer community. CPDM supports researchers by generation, characterization, storage, and distribution of models of various types, including cell lines, PDX, and fresh cell preparations.
