The mission of the UWCCC Translational Science BioCore (TSB) is to facilitate research by providing comprehensive services that enable cellular and molecular characterization of animal models and human-derived biospecimens with deidentified clinical data. These services are provided through the combined expertise and equipment of the BioBank, the Translational Research Initiatives in Pathology (TRIP) laboratory, and the Experimental Animal Pathology Laboratory (EAPL).

TSB - BioBank
The TSB BioBank, under our umbrella protocol, provides high-quality human tissues, blood and other biospecimens that are prospectively collected, processed, and stored for distribution to investigators. We can distribute these specimens in a deidentified fashion using our honest broker system to meet the definition of not human subjects research when satisfactory regulatory requirements are met. We are also able to support investigators with IRB-approved protocols. We handle all our specimens in accordance with procedures that comply with the confidentiality, safety and all other regulatory standards set by UW-Madison and the National Cancer Institute's Best Practices for Biospecimen Resources.
