Innovative tools for breast cancer research and drug discovery

Breast cancer is the most common cancer in women worldwide. It is highly heterogeneous with distinct breast cancer types and subtypes, posing challenges for diagnosis and treatment. There is a need for breast cancer models that capture its heterogeneity to uncover novel disease mechanisms underlying its complexity and for more precise drug development.

CancerTools.org has curated an extensive collection of breast cancer research tools, deposited by scientists from academic universities and leading cancer centres over 40 years. This includes a diverse array of breast cancer cell lines for improved disease modelling, more complex in vitro patient-derived organoid (PDO), in vivo patient-derived xenograft (PDX), and mouse models to enhance preclinical drug discovery workflows, as well as authenticated antibodies to study tumour immunology
