The KTB exists to promote and support clinical research. Therefore, we consider it important for our donors, volunteers, funders, and friends to have access to the results of the important work facilitated by our tissue samples.
Here, we highlight three recently published research articles using KTB samples and focused on women of color. We have provided links to an easy-to-read summary as well as to the full manuscripts, should you wish to read more.
