International project delivers hundreds of next-generation models for cancer research
Ten years and thousands of patient samples later, the National Cancer Institute (NCI) has published its results from the Human Cancer Model Initiative (HCMI) on the development of 665 organoid models of 25 types of cancer that are now available to scientists worldwide.
The National Cancer Institute (NCI) has launched the Human Cancer Model Initiative (HCMI) over the past decade, resulting in the creation of 665 organoid models representing 25 distinct types of cancer. This comprehensive project has been made possible through a collaborative effort involving Cold Spring Harbor Laboratory, Northwell Health, and several international institutions.
Led by the esteemed scientists and physicians at Cold Spring Harbor Laboratory and Northwell Health, the HCMI has developed organoids that closely mirror the biology of actual patient tumors, providing researchers with powerful tools to accelerate cancer discovery and develop more personalized treatment strategies.
