# BIOSPECIMENS CORE

> **NIH NIH P50** · SLOAN-KETTERING INST CAN RESEARCH · 2020 · $217,787

## Abstract

The Biospecimen Core will support the Memorial Sloan Kettering Cancer Center (MSK) SPORE in Lymphoma,
which focuses on diffuse large B-cell lymphoma (DLBCL). The overall goal of the Biospecimen core is to
provide SPORE investigators with well-characterized biological specimens, including tissues, tissue
derivatives, and blood, essential for achieving the aims of the projects. The Biospecimen Core will coordinate
tissue acquisition and distribution of high-quality biospecimens by experienced lymphoma pathologists. This
shared resource for SPORE investigators will allow for expanding correlative studies, interrogating specific
oncogenic signaling pathways, genetic alterations, and biomarker identification. The Aims of the Biospecimen
Core are: Aim 1. To collect, process, bank, and distribute biospecimens from patients with DLBCL to SPORE
investigators and collaborators in support of their research projects. Aim 2. To provide comprehensive
diagnostic characterization of lymphoma specimens collected from patients enrolled on SPORE clinical trials.
Aim 3. To process and perform integral and integrated biomarker analysis on biospecimens collected from
patients enrolled on SPORE clinical trials.
