Facilitating research collaboration by organizing and conducting conferences and symposia in the field of mouse models of human cancer technology

Scientific research services, namely, collecting and characterizing live mouse models of human cancers produced in scientific research and providing the live models, mouse model embryos, and mouse model sperm for scientific research; organizing and maintaining a repository of live models, embryos, and sperm; assembling scientific research data on the mouse models, genetic mutations present in the mouse models, description of genes related to human and mouse cancers, and comparisons of mouse and human cancers and providing the data to the scientific research community; assembling scientific research data describing human cancer disease processes, molecular mechanism of disease, diagnoses, and therapies and providing the data to the scientific research community; developing guidelines for the use of mouse models in relation to new interventions for human cancer; defining validation parameters to assess mouse phenotypes as models of human disease; developing and maintaining an electronic database containing technical data on the mouse models; developing and maintaining computer-driven methods for obtaining technical information about the mouse models through a global computer information network
