Advanced Drug-resistant Cell Models for Cancer Therapeutic Resistance Studies

Blue and red lung cancer cells.

Abstract

Despite an increase in the number of novel anti-cancer drugs, the persistence of drug resistance remains a major challenge in cancer research. Cell-based models are critical tools for understanding the mechanisms of drug resistance and developing novel therapeutics. This workshop highlighted how state-of-the-art ATCC drug-resistant cancer cell models created by CRISPR gene-editing technology can facilitate the discovery of new types of therapeutics that overcomes drug resistance. In addition, cell models for combination therapy studies were discussed in this session.
