Central England Haemato-Oncology Research Biobank (CEHRB)REC reference: 09/H0405/12 |
|
The Central England Haemato-Oncology Research Biobank stores excess material from oncology samples referred for diagnostic testing and disease monitoring at the West Midlands Regional Genetics Laboratory (WMRGL). The bank is housed within the WMRGL.
Excess sample (mainly from blood and bone marrow) is stored from diagnostic patient material and from samples received throughout their disease course. The WMRGL serves a population of about 5.5million and is the largest UK NHS genetic Lab. Due to the large patient population CEHRB is able to collate sufficient research material from all classifications of neoplastic haematological disorders including those that are rare. The material is made available to all cancer research groups both locally and nationally.
Types of material stored
- Viable cells
- Fixed cell suspensions
- DNA
- RNA/cDNA
- plasma
