title: Group Aims to Make 1,000 Cancer Cell Lines.
abstract: The Human Cancer Models Initiative aims to produce thousands of new lines that offer researchers more, better characterized options for their studies. The cancer cell lines currently available to researchers lack diversity-in terms of the cancer subtypes and donor ethnicities represented-as well as data on a tumor's original sequence and a patient's response to therapies.
