Cancer Research Laboratory

Objectives of CRL

• This laboratory will give detailed insight into the growth and spread of cancer cells which is essential for developing future tests and drugs.
• Will facilitate initial identification of drugs that have anticancer therapeutic potential using in vitro methods.
• The potency of the anti-cancer agents will be further confirmed on approved animal models by in vivo methods.
• Selected chemical compounds will be exposed on specific genes and/or cell-lines under different conditions and doses to explore their possible potential as cancer drugs.
• The traditional medicinal plants will be tested on cancer cells to understand their therapeutic potential.
