The TSB BioBank provides a broad array of services to provide investigators with high-quality human-derived biospecimens that promote basic, translational, and clinical research. We recognize the need for customized protocols to ensure successful work across various experimental methods and adapt workflows for prospective collections accordingly. In addition to catered prospective collections, we maintain a large repository of biospecimens that have been acquired over many years with strict adherence to quality standards, including multiple tissue microarrays. We also have multiple subspecialized pathologists to ensure you get the specimens that best fit your needs and provide tailored clinical annotations to meet your project-specific goals.
In order to support as much research as possible, we need a range of specimen types, including those that are normal and abnormal. Most of our specimens are collected under our “WiscShare” protocol from what would normally be discarded after all testing for clinical care is complete. If you would like to learn more about contributing to WiscShare, please click here. If you are interested in donating normal blood, please email biobank@uwcarbone.wisc.edu.
