Assays
Champions' analytical testing assays enhance endpoint data collection in preclinical in vivo studies, ex vivo assays, and throughout clinical trial specialty testing. We employ high-parameter flow cytometry to deconvolute diverse cell populations, while immunohistochemistry and plate-based tools assess tissue changes. Next Generation Sequencing and 4D Proteomics can be used to generate hypotheses that drive oncology drug strategy.
