Biorepository
Lab Director
The Biorepository was designed to collect, process, and distribute large numbers of high quality research specimens quickly and efficiently. The data that is collected is primarily human DNA from whole blood along with other human specimen types. The data are collected, processed, stored and later distributed to support a large number of research studies.
Biobanking of other specimen types include cells, RNA, serum, plasma and tissue. The Biorepository serves as a storage facility for tracking specimen inventory using bar code technologies. The Biorepository also conducts most operations using modern laboratory automation and robotics, an efficient way to avoid processing errors inherent in the handling of larger numbers of specimens.
