AAU in Cooperation with the University of Bradford Implements A Research Project to Improve the Effectiveness of Cancer Diagnosis & Treatment Through A Predictive Test

As a continuation of the AAU approach to support and develop scientific research in various fields, the University implemented in cooperation with the Bradford University, UK, a joint project which aims to study cancer biology and test hypotheses in order to improve the effectiveness of cancer diagnosis & treatment by carrying out a predictive test titled “RanDx” for cancer cells recurrence and spread in breast cancer. This project which approximately costs 200,000 pounds also aims to enhance the excellence of the AAU Faculty of Pharmacy. It is worth noting that the AAU Faculty of Pharmacy received a five-star rating on the QS global scale making it the first among its counterparts in Jordanian universities. Prof. Muhammad El-Tanani, the Dean of the AAU Faculty of Pharmacy, donated the Cell Bio-bank to the University. This Bio-bank includes more than 120 different cancer cell lines and few of stable normal cell lines. It is good to knowing that the stable cell lines are widely used in recombinant protein and antibody production, drug screening, functional studies of genes and other applications.The AAU Faculty of Pharmacy will provide state-of-the- art services for the purpose of establishing stable cell lines for protein over expression, gene knockdown or genome editing that meet any specific research needs.
