Both cytotoxic and genotoxic assays are performed routinely. This system is useful to any investigator interested in using the tools of modern molecular cytogenetics as they apply to many disease processes. The latter two maintain substantial collections and services in support of cancer biology research. Collectively, these libraries offer well over two million books and journals applicable to cancer research and care. The Shiffman Medical Library, conveniently located on the DMC campus adjacent to the School of Medicine, maintains collections of more than 250,000 volumes and 2,970 journal subscriptions.
Microcomputers are available for student use within the library.
Instructional programs in support of health sciences information management are a growing part of the mission of the Shiffman Library.
