Development of Patient-derived Tumorgrafts as a Model for the Discovery of Biomarkers and Therapeutic Approaches for Gynecological Tumors

Topic of Study: Gynecologic Cancer

Principal Investigator: Teresa Diaz-Montes, M.D., 410-332-9250

Research Coordinator: Michelle Sittig, RN or Angie Gahres, BSN, RN at 410-332-9294
