The goal of our research is to create a more efficient metastatic prostate cancer GEMM and we will be using both the femtojet and transferman to inject virus cells into our current mouse model and have the cancer cells become more precise. In the past, you could not differentiate the cancer cells, and with this new method of injection, we are able to create single colonies of cancer cells. This technique of using microinjection is also helpful for work with gene targeting and IVF. The goal of this product is to ensure that virus reaches the tissue and produces metastatic disease. By using the product, instead of by hand, creates more reproducible spread of cancer. This product was chosen because they could help us obtain the results we wanted and were most cost effective.
