Abstract

The NCI Cancer Tissue Engineering Collaborative Research Program is a highly interdisciplinary and focused community

Highlights

  • The Cancer Tissue Engineering Collaborative (Cancer TEC) is a unique research program supported by the National Cancer Institute (NCI) developing and characterizing biomimetic tissue-engineered platforms meticulously designed to study cancer as a complex, adaptive system

  • These engineered three-dimensional systems fill a critical gap in the cancer modeling continuum, combining sophisticated biological systems which closely mimic the cancer and its surrounding microenvironment with the ability to manipulate, quantify, and monitor different parameters

  • The idea for the program originated from a growing appreciation of the importance of understanding the physical properties of cancer, through research supported by the NCI Physical Sciences-Oncology Network (PS-ON)
