For Researchers
The MCW Tissue Bank is a secure storage facility that collects, processes and distributes blood and tissue for research on campus. We consent for one additional blood draw during a regularly scheduled clinic procedure and the collection of otherwise discarded tissue from any future surgery, including bone marrow, tumor and control tissue. Our streamlined, IRB approved process allows researchers to query available samples and de-identified clinical data with the help of CTSI’s i2b2 Cohort Discovery Tool. We also work to accommodate researchers in prospective studies.
