Molecular Targets Marker Testing Facility
This facility provides the framework for a resource to enhance clinical trials performed at MD Anderson Cancer Center by developing marker assays for marker-driven trials that meet regulatory requirements for treatment assignment for patients. This “laboratory without walls” provides capacity for development of assays for new markers and targets for clinical trials using methodologies that are already available in CLIA-compliant clinical diagnostic laboratories.
