About
TBPR includes the Institutional Tissue Bank (ITB) and the Research Histology Core Laboratory (RHCL).
The ITB is a College of American Pathologists (CAP)-accredited and Clinical Laboratory Improvement Amendments (CLIA)-certified research biospecimen repository, developed for the purpose of collection, processing, storage and distribution of patient tissue samples, fluids, and related clinical data across MD Anderson to research investigators and beyond on behalf of the institutional protocols.
The RHCL was created to support basic and clinical research, allowing researchers to utilize their grant funds on their projects and thus eliminate the expense of hiring technical personnel or purchasing costly instruments. The RHCL provides histological and molecular expertise, technical support, and consultation to research investigators, which in turn produces positive outcomes for their research protocols.
This facility is funded by the CCSG Core Grant NCI #CA016672.
