NanoSystems Biology Cancer Center 2
California Institute of Technology
Center Overview
Technologies developed by the California Institute of Technology CCNE provide a pathway for the early detection and informative diagnosis of melanoma, glioblastoma, and ovarian cancers through in vitro diagnostics and in vivo molecular imaging. Direct applications to targeted therapies, including molecularly targeted therapies, adoptive T cell immunotherapies and siRNA therapies are explored within this CCNE.
