Programs

Alliance for Nanotechnology in Cancer: The NCI Alliance for Nanotechnology in Cancer is a comprehensive, systematized five-year initiative encompassing the public and private sectors, designed to accelerate the application of the best capabilities of nanotechnology to cancer.

 

Clinical Proteomic Technologies Initiative: The objective of the Clinical Proteomic Technologies Initiative (CPTI) is to build the foundation of technologies, data, reagents and standards, analysis systems, and infrastructure needed to systematically advance our understanding of protein biology in cancer and accelerate discovery research and clinical applications.

 

Innovative Molecular Analysis Technologies: The Innovative Molecular Analysis Technologies (IMAT) Program is aimed at the inception, development, integration, and application of novel and emerging technologies in the support of cancer research, treatment, diagnosis, and prevention.

 

Nanotechnology Characterization Laboratory: The National Cancer Institute, working in concert with the National Institute of Standards and Technology (NIST) and the U.S. Food and Drug Administration (FDA), established the Nanotechnology Characterization Laboratory to perform preclinical efficacy and toxicity testing of nanoparticles.
