The facility also considers requests for the development and implementation of new analytical and biochemical assays. In general, assays include the following:

• Evaluation of various pharmacological targets
• Development of pharmacological assays of anti-cancer agents and their metabolites
• Analysis of drug and metabolite concentrations in biological fluids
• Assessment of markers for drug resistance
• Measurement of activity of drug-metabolizing enzymes in human tissue

Getting Started
