HCMI: Human Cancer Models Initiative

The Human Cancer Models Initiative (HCMI) is a collaborative international consortium that is generating novel, next-generation, tumor-derived culture models annotated with genomic and clinical data. HCMI-developed models and related data are available as a community resource. The NCI is contributing to the initiative by supporting two Cancer Model Development Centers (CMDCs).
