Comprehensive biospecimen management for cancer research
The Biospecimen Collection and Banking Core—or BC²—merges the Tissue Procurement Core, the Komen Tissue Bank, and the biobanking efforts of the Clinical Trials Office and the Oncology Research Information Exchange Network (ORIEN).
Under the leadership of medical director Anna Maria Storniolo, MD, the core supports cancer research by providing comprehensive biospecimen management, including:
- Collection
- Storage
- Distribution
- Annotation (in collaboration with others)
We also encompass three working groups:
- Regulatory and Data
- Sample Acquisition
- Outreach/Recruitment/Communication
