The BioRespository team, located on the Intermountain LDS Hospital campus in Salt Lake City, Utah, has one of the largest repositories of paraffin tissue blocks in the Western United States. Cancer researchers have been able to use the tissue blocks collected at Intermountain over the last 25 years to evaluate for genetic aberrations which may play a role in cancer development or predisposistion. The BioRepository team also has the ability to safely store and track fresh frozen tissue samples. DNA and RNA extracted from the fresh frozen tissue samples are helping clinicians and researchers analyze genetic profiles of many diseases and the phenotypic outcomes of diseased tissue.

Great post Stan! I have been told that I should really look into biobanking software because it can really be helpful to me in the future. Well that's how I came across your blog and I'm happy I did because this was a very informative article. Thank you for sharing this with us!
