The laboratory of Dr. Angela Hirbe, along with collaborators in the Largaespada and Wood labs at the University of Minnesota, the Pratilas lab at Johns Hopkins University, and the Gosline lab have just published a novel three-dimensional MPNST culture system to test novel therapeutic combinations. They hope this system will allow for high throughput testing of drug combinations and more accurately select the combinations of drugs that would ultimately be successful in clinical trials. This work will continue with funding from the CDMRP NF Research Program.
