The UW Carbone Cancer Center
(UWCCC) Biobank has been established
for the systematic, prospective collection and
storage of residual human tissue or other human
biological material (HBM) such as blood or serum,
to be used in future research studies at the University
of Wisconsin.
The Biobank serves as a centralized collection, storage
and distribution service for this HBM and ensures that
proper specimen collection, storage and distribution
procedures are followed and that the Bank complies
with confidentiality, safety and other regulatory issues.
UWCCC developed this shared service to support cancer-related
research on campus. The focus of research studies using
the specimens and associated data is on cancer biology. However,
other diseases may be the subject of related studies.
The Protocol Review and Monitoring Committee (PRMC)
reviews all tissue requests and addresses issues related
to prioritizing the distribution of human biological
material from this limited resource.
