Use a primary cell-based platform that truly represents the clinical diversity of brain cancer…
A comprehensive array of phenotypic characterizations…
• Expression microarrays mRNA and miRNA identification
• Activation states of cellular kinases and other enzymes
• Phenotypic measurements like cellular toxicity
• Real Time PCR to quantify gene expression
• FACS cell sorting to isolate cell populations of interest
• FISH analysis with specific probes
