The Vancouver Prostate Centre’s Pharmacology and Drug Design unit provides early-stage drug discovery services and evaluates the pre-clinical activity of anti-cancer drug candidates that focus on prostate cancer. Through our PC-TRIADD initiative, we provide services for pharmaceutical and biotech companies as well as external researchers that include rapid and comprehensive identification of novel drug candidates and their assessment in pre-clinical model systems.

The Living Tumour Laboratory

The Living Tumor Lab is a unique and valuable resource, which grows a wide variety of patient-derived cancer tissues, including both low and high-grade solid cancers. This work enables researchers to readily study human cancer tissue in vivo, and develop a variety of transplantable tumour tissue lines that can be used as models for studying cancer growth/progression/metastasis and drug sensitivity.
