Kelsey Dillehay McKillip, PhD - Director
The UCCC Biospecimen Shared Resource (UCCC-BSR) is a fee-for-service biospecimen procurement and storage facility that collects, stores, and dispenses high-quality human biospecimens in support of clinical, translational, and basic research.
The UCCC-BSR provides access to a large and growing collection of biospecimens, including malignant tissues with matched normal tissue, blood, and urine. The UCCC-BSR also provides fit-for-purpose prospective biospecimen procurement services tailored to study specific requirements.
Investigators who are interested in accessing banked biospecimen should complete a Sample Request Form. For prospective collection services please contact Kelsey Dillehay McKillip.
