BIOREPOSITORY | FWCC Research
The Biorepository, a Feist-Weiller Cancer Center (FWCC) supported resource, provides a gateway through which institutionally supported investigators involved in IRB-approved research projects or clinical trials can acquire the human tissue samples or hematological samples required to support their research.
The overall objective of FWCC Biorepository is to support translational research by functioning as the primary fresh-frozen tissue acquisition and processing facility for human solid tissue and hematopoietic specimens.
To support future research studies, the FWCC Biorepository utilizes an IRB-approved protocol and consent form to prospectively collect and process high-quality specimens. The FWCC Biorepository works in collaboration with medical and surgical teams at LSU Health Shreveport and a Pathology member to procure remnant tissue for research purposes, and investigators in need of biospecimens for their research.
Additionally, FWCC Biorepository provides customized services and equipment to assist investigators in the procurement, analyses, and clinicopathologic correlation of human tissue specimens.
