Shared resources for Cancer Institute investigators

Penn State Cancer Institute has state-of-the-art shared resources available for use by investigators.

Each shared resource has an oversight committee, and performance is tracked through user surveys and annual user meetings. Annually, each resource director presents a report to the Cancer Institute's Executive Committee including research highlights, usage information, responses to any identified issues and plans for the year ahead.

In addition, Penn State Cancer Institute investigators have access to a number of other shared resources at Penn State College of Medicine in Hershey and at Penn State University Park
