Tampa General Hospital Partners with USF Health to Establish Precision Medicine Biorepository
Tampa General Hospital (TGH) and USF Health is announcing the opening of the TGH | USF Health Precision Medicine Biorepository. The Health Precision Medicine Biorepository is a secure facility that collects, catalogs and stores samples of biological material for medical research.
“The biorepository will drive leading-edge scientific collaboration with the...
New AI Method Makes it Possible to Analyse Cancer Genomes from FFPE Tissue Samples
Scientists have developed an artificial intelligence (AI) method that could unlock a research ‘treasure trove’ of cancer genomes from billions of preserved tissue samples stored routinely at hospitals over decades. The new method makes it possible for the first time...
Reliable Ultra-Low Freezers for the Storage of Cancer Biomarkers
The use of tumour markers to diagnose, assess prognosis, and select a suitable cancer treatment has become possible due to the development of inexpensive and user-friendly molecular analysis tools such as the polymerase chain reaction (PCR). Maintaining the integrity...
NIH Launches Program to Offer Molecular Characterization of Pediatric Cancer Data
The National Cancer Institute, part of the National Institutes of Health, has launched the Molecular Characterization Initiative for pediatric tumors and this program offers tumor molecular characterization, also called biomarker testing, to children, adolescents, and young adults with newly diagnosed central...
Biobanking Science: High-Speed Freezing Protects Tumor Cell Quality
Biobanks around the world store many different types of biological samples. Circulating tumor cells (CTCs) are commonly stored in biobanks as these cells can be used to diagnose cancer in patients and to monitor disease progression. CTCs break off...
