Dr. Janny Piñeiro Llanes is a Post Doctoral Associate in the Department of Pharmaceutics at the University of Florida. Currently, she joined Dr. Cristofoletti’s Laboratory at the Center for Pharmacometrics & Systems Pharmacology to develop and optimize organotypic and micro-physiological systems for in vitro testing of pharmacological compounds. Specifically, she aims to extract, from in […]
Webinar Abstract: Patient-derived xenografts (PDX) and cell-derived xenografts (CDX) are important tools for studying tumor behavior and drug responsiveness for pre-clinical oncology studies. PDX and CDX models can accelerate the development of new cancer treatments and improve our understanding of tumor biology and efficacy for diverse patients to individualized patients’ specific cancer. Animal-based extracellular […]
Abstract 3D cell models like organoid and patient-derived tumoroid are becoming increasingly important for personalized medicine, drug screening and cell therapy. Such 3D models are highly relied on for microenvironment recapitulation. A reliable xeno-free hydrogel system that can closely mimic the natural extracellular matrix (ECM) is extremely important to replace the animal-based extracellular matrix to […]
