## Abstract

BIOSPECIMEN REPOSITORY AND HISTOLOGY SERVICE SHARED RESOURCE
PROJECT SUMMARY/ABSTRACT
The Biospecimen Repository and Histology Service shared resource (Biorepository) of the Rutgers Cancer
Institute of New Jersey (CINJ) is a Cancer Center managed shared resource whose purpose is to support
transdisciplinary and translational research through cost-effective, quality controlled tissue collection,
biospecimen procurement and processing and cancer clinical trial support.
The Biorepository provides tissues for cancer research through a seamless acquisition-processing-distribution
pathway. The resource staff also provides collection, processing and shipping for thousands of clinical trial
specimens by adhering to specific protocols. Our CLIA licensed histology laboratory delivers state of the art
technologies for tissue analysis along with professional tissue examination by board-certified pathologists. The
Biorepository follows best practices as dictated by the College of American Pathologists (CAP) guidelines.
The Biorepository uses state of the art technologies for tissue analysis and professional interpretation under
CAP guidelines. In addition, the Biorepository serves as an “honest broker” and maintains the chain of custody
for patient samples and their clinical annotations. The Biorepository is comprised of three Divisions: 1) the
Clinical Trial Laboratory, 2) the Banking Group and 3) the Histopathology Service. The Biorepository Lab
Divisions support clinical trials, tissue banking and basic science by collecting, cataloging, processing, storing
and distributing bio-specimens from human subjects while archiving useful medical information along with
written patient consents. Each of the divisions is distinct, yet they cooperate to provide a seamless workflow
and unparalleled service, and are operated by highly qualified technologists and strong leadership.
