Abstract
ATCC is committed to providing cancer models that lead to breakthroughs in therapeutic discovery and development. To this end, we are focused on developing new products that can accelerate oncology pre-clinical research and drug development. This workshop will highlight two application areas of our current focus: 2-D and 3-D models for the Human Cancer Models Initiative (HCMI) and reporter models and primary cells for immuno-oncology–based therapeutics. Join this session to learn about organoids, neurospheres, conditionally reprogrammed cells, CAR-T Target reporters for assessing effector cell potency, checkpoint inhibitor reporters, and primary CD8+ cytotoxic T cells.

James Clinton, PhD
Lead Scientist, ATCC
James Clinton, PhD, works in new product development with a focus on primary cells and advanced, physiologically relevant culture systems using novel technologies. Previously he worked at University of California, San Diego and the La Jolla Institute for Molecular Medicine. Dr. Clinton attended Washington State University and University of California, San Diego where he studied Neuroscience.
Human Cancer Models Initiative
ATCC is collaborating with the Human Cancer Models Initiative (HCMI) to offer scientists a wide variety of next-generation 2-D and 3-D patient-derived in vitro cancer models, including organoids.
ATCC is committed to making available a growing collection of models generated by the HCMI, which will include both common as well as rare and understudied examples of cancer from numerous tissues. These HCMI models are valuable tools to study cancer, identify and target novel therapies, and facilitate translational cancer research.
