Proteomic Analysis of CBTTC Cell Lines (Procan)

CBTTC investigators are able to grow cancer cells from children’s brain cancers in the laboratory and to test their response to cancer drugs. In this project, thousands of types of protein molecules will be measured in each of the cancer cell lines, and in the corresponding cancers, to understand more about the cancers. Advanced computational methods will be used to find patterns in the protein data that predict response to treatment, so that this type of data can be used in future to help guide cancer clinicians choose the most appropriate treatments for children with brain cancer.
