How to grow cancer cells as free floating tumor spheroids
by Dipanjan Basu, PhD
Monday, 6th April 2015
2-3 pm
Falk Library Classroom 2
In cancer research, three dimensional (3D) in vitro cell culture models are considered superior to two-dimensional (2D) monolayer cultured cells because they more closely resemble the in vivo condition. This talk will cover various methods of growing tumor cells in 3D with special emphasis on tumorospheres, a model of cancer stem cell expansion established in a serum free medium supplemented with growth factors.
