Basic Science Research
Johns Hopkins Tissue Resource
A variety of tissues are available to scientific collaborators through
the Gastrointestinal (GI) Cancer Specialized Program of Research Excellence
(SPORE) Grant. This is a National Cancer Institutes grant to Johns Hopkins
University. These tissues include normal tissues, precancers and
invasive cancers from the pancreas and colon. Samples are available
include:
- fresh-frozen tissue,
- xenografted tissue,
- tissue microarrays, and
- formalin-fixed paraffin-embedded tissue
The sharing of tissues is governed by appropriate HIPPA
(health information portability and privacy) regulations and
Institutional Review Board (IRB) approvals. In addition, the
scientific merit of the collaborative use of these materials will
be evaluated by an institutional GI SPORE scientific review group.
For more information on this shared resource, please contact Dr. Ralph Hruban.
