Cedars-Sinai Biobank and Research Pathology Resource

The vision for the Biobank is to establish an enterprise-wide state-of-the-art biorepository that provides biospecimens for research, a pipeline of assays, and digital image analysis tools to perform quantitative measurements in tissue. We want to arm researchers with necessary resources so they can translate laboratory discoveries into patient care in the most expedited way.
