In addition to helping investigators plan and procure new biospecimens for projects, the CaRE2 TMDDC also maintains a virtual repository of previously collected biospecimens for which you can request access. The virtual repository leverages procurement across all 3 TMDDC sites and is available to all investigators. To help in your project planning, we’ve included a summery of potentially available tissue in our virtual repository.
Please contact us via our contact page, to get more information about accessing these tissues.
