Discovery Life Sciences Launches Tumoroids for Oncology Research
HUNTSVILLE, AL – Discovery Life Sciences, recognized globally for its pioneering contributions to biospecimen solutions and specialized lab services, is set to launch its innovative Tumoroid Cell Lines at the upcoming Precision Med Tri-Con 2025. This significant event is scheduled to take place from March 11 to 13 in San Diego, California.
The Tumoroid Cell Lines, cultivated from patient-derived cancer cells, are engineered within Thermo Fisher Scientific's Gibco™ OncoPro™ Tumoroid Culture Medium. This cutting-edge development is expected to significantly propel oncology research forward, enabling scientists to assess and identify effective therapies more efficiently. McLean Collins, President of Biospecimens Products & Services at Discovery, highlighted the importance of this launch:
“Our tumoroid cell lines are a transformative tool that can help eliminate major barriers to oncology research, giving scientists a powerful, predictive tool to identify life-changing therapies faster.”
Enhancing Oncology Research with Tumoroids
The Tumoroid Cell Lines are designed as three-dimensional (3D) multicellular structures that mimic the biological complexity of cancer. Unlike traditional two-dimensional (2D) cancer models, these tumoroids provide greater biological relevance, offering vital environmental dynamics that are essential for drug and diagnostic development. This advancement signifies a major milestone in the effort to produce therapies that are more effective and targeted, enhancing the potential for breakthroughs in patient care.
