Description
The Tissue Resource and Applications Core, provides centralized collection, storage, and distribution of human tissue samples and blood samples to the basic science and clinical communities at the University of Utah Health Sciences Center and Huntsman Cancer Institute. The tissue resource, gives investigators the ability to evaluate tissues and blood samples from human subjects. The goal is to provide investigators with human specimens that are optimally preserved for analysis and for which relevant clinical information is available. Technical services offered by the facility include, collection and preparation of surplus surgical tissue, collection, preparation, of blood samples, tissue database management, tissue processing of Formalin Fixed Paraffin Embedded (FFPE) tissue, tissue embedding, tissue sectioning of FFPE tissue and frozen tissue, H & E staining of tissue sections, use of bright field, fluorescence, and laser capture microscopes.
Any publication resulting from the use of this shared resource should appropriately acknowledge the Tissue Resource &
Applications Core, the NCI Cancer Center Support Grant P30CA042014, and Huntsman Cancer Institute/Huntsman Cancer Foundation.
In addition, for purposes of the NCI review and fulfilling the mission of the Cancer Center, please use peer-reviewed cancer
