Pricing information and sample submission

The primary function of the Clinical Pharmacology Shared Resource (CPSR) is to support Dartmouth Cancer Center investigators in the design, analysis and interpretation of pharmacology objectives/endpoints in preclinical and clinical studies, including chemoprevention and epidemiological studies. We have bioanalytical hardware, computer hardware and state-of-the-art commercial software programs for application to individual and population-based pharmacokinetic and pharmacodynamic modeling, and modeling drug in vitro and in vivo combination drug effects. In addition we provide a biosample processing/storage and shipping service. RRID SCR 000873
