NYU School of Center for Biospecimen Research and Development was launched as a partnership between the Office of Science and Research and the Department of Pathology. Our mission is to drive scientific discovery through the use of human specimens. We help our investigators facilitate translational research, match human specimen resources to scientific needs, foster multi-investigator collaborative projects, and catalyze scientific innovation.
Our center is also focused on increasing clinical trial support for investigator-initiated trials, improving researcher access to existing biospecimen resources, and enhancing institution-wide tissue-banking efforts and capacity. Another priority is to implement a campus-wide policy for human biospecimen collection and storage to ensure regulatory compliance.

Our Research Support Services Include:
Digital Pathology: digital slides images enable researchers to instantly view, evaluate and annotate slide images. Creating a digital slide library protects tissue resources for future research. Our APERIO scanner by Leica offers high-quality digital imaging, is user friendly and is the most common whole slide scanner in clinical practice.
Tissue microarrays (TMAs): CBRD creates tumor and tissue specific TMA from high quality formalin-fixed paraffin embedded tissue samples; cores are selected by qualified Board certified Pathologists. Map/datasheet includes H&E images and detailed pathology reports. Sections of TMAs are available for the research community.
Nucleic Acids extraction: High quality and yield of DNA or RNA is critical to ensure the success of assays such as sequencing, genotyping or gene expression. Our QIASymphony SP enables sample preparation of DNA and RNA from a variety of specimens such as whole blood, saliva, blood-spots, fresh and frozen tissue (including FFPE).
Biobanks development: CBRD offers biospecimen procurement, processing, quality control, storing, and distributing for future research.
Coordinating the collection and processing of fresh tissue for research projects.
