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).
The core supports cancer research by providing biospecimen collection services, archival materials distribution, tissue microarrays (TMAs), and associated data services.
