Established in 2004 in the Department of Pathology by Stony Brook Medicine and the Stony Brook University School of Medicine, this facility banks normal, abnormal and malignant tissue specimens and serums to support the discovery of molecular diagnostics and markers of disease progression. This team works closely with cancer surgeons and other principal investigators to obtain tissue specimens under informed patient consent. Banking biomedical tissue, stored under cryogenic conditions for medical research, provides the opportunity for state-of-the-art collaborations in clinical research.
