About the Core
The Biorepository Core comprises of a biobank core and biomarker services.
Services Available
The services provided by the Biorepository Unit include:
- Storage of human cells, tissues, plasma, and other bodily fluid samples
- Provide cultured cell lines, purified genomic DNA, and RNA
- Next-generation sequencing techniques
- Expression arrays
- Epigenomic assays
- Array comparative genomic hybridization
- Proteomic
Metabolomics studies for comprehensive profiling can be obtained through the Advanced Technological Core Labs
