Through its use of fertilised hen's eggs, offers researchers method for scientific research that can also reduce or replace the use of mammalian models. Provides expertise in chorioallantoic membrane xenograft models of cancer, including patient-derived xenografts, to translate in vitro cancer studies and test therapeutic approaches.
