The NRG Oncology Biospecimen Bank - San Francisco is the central repository of biospecimens collected from cancer patients enrolled in NRG or RTOG legacy clinical trials. Over 500,000 samples, including unstained slides, tissue blocks, frozen and fresh tissue and fluids like plasma or serum from various disease sites from new NRG trials and RTOG Legacy trials are stored at the NRG Biospecimen Bank. Extensive clinical follow-up data exist on the patients. The aim of the Biospecimen Bank is to provide annotated patient samples to qualified investigators who have significant research hypotheses that require the use of such specimens. De-identified samples are distributed to qualified outside researchers who comply with CTEP and Biospecimen Bank access policies and are funded to carry out projects. Requests for NRG and RTOG legacy biospecimens are best made before submission of a research grant or contract to a funding agency to assure the availability of the tissue for the study Who we are: Director: Dr Richard Jordan, DDS, PhD Co-Directors: Dr Jeffry Simko MD, PhD, Dr Mack Roach, MD and Dr Ken Aldape MD Manager: Sandy DeVries, MA Staff: Mary Manning, Florence Lo NRG Oncology Biospecimen Bank - San Francisco Current News NRG Biospecimen Banks: Useful Information New Trials: NRG-HN004-reopened - New kits!; NRG-DT001, NRG LU003, NRG LU004 Come visit the NRG Banks at the 2019 Summer NRG Meeting Round Table session Thursday July 18th, 1.30-4.30pm in Philadelphia Resources Shipping Biospecimens In this section, the researcher will find information regarding the shipping and kit request protocols for the NRG Oncology Biopecimen Bank at UCSF.
