The Analytical Pharmacology Core facility (APCF) encourages and facilitates collaborative research between basic scientists and clinicians by providing a wide range of analytical services that benefit both groups. The APCF conducts pharmacokinetic and pharmacodynamic studies for both chemotherapy clinical trials and peer-reviewed preclinical studies.

The primary services of the APCF are:

Assay development and analysis (LS/MS/MS, GC/MS, HPLC, and AAS) of chemotherapeutic agents and related compounds.
Study design and expert analysis of pharmacokinetic, pharmacodynamic, and metabolic data.

The facility’s services are available to both City of Hope and external researchers.
