UA Cancer Center Biospecimen Core

Overview of Services

The UACC Biospecimen Core provides central support for researchers needing tissue materials for research on a fee-for-service basis.  We provide a mechanism to simplify and streamline the process of research tissue accrual and disbursment. We strive to consent and collect tissue from almost every cancer patient in Banner/University of Arizona and distribute the collected tissue for cutting-edge cancer research both at the University of Arizona and with outside collaborators. We maximize research dollars through customized, cost-effective, and quality-controlled services.
