Refining In Vitro Drug Response Metrics in Cancer
2026-08-25
Hannah R. Schwartz’s dissertation distinguishes relative viability from fractional viability, showing that growth inhibition and cell death are related but non-equivalent components of an anticancer response. This framework supports more informative assay design and helps researchers interpret cytotoxicity and apoptosis inhibitor research without treating reduced viability as a direct measure of cell killing.
