Pdx Models

PDX models are important preclinical tools to develop effective and safe therapeutics that combat cancer. Drug developers can utilize PDX models to target patient tumors with specific oncogene profiles. Our PDX models are significantly more accurate in predicting clinical efficacy than other more conventional approaches. This predictive accuracy helps our clients develop successful drug candidates by providing a more accurate assessment of therapeutic efficacy, thereby saving our client companies time and resources.

With NexusPharma clients receive a boutique experience with highly skilled experts customized for their study.
