Champions Biotechnology Inc.
Champions Biotechnology Inc.'s preclinical screening technology uses xenografts that it creates by implanting primary human cancer tumors into immune-deficient mice.

The company has signed preclinical screening deals with a number of partners and it's also building its own therapeutic pipeline.
