The MCW Tissue Bank provides biorepository and tissue analytics services involving human biospecimens to faculty investigators.
In addition to distributing tissues and other biospecimens, services associated with human biospecimens include tissue and blood processing, RNA/DNA extraction, tissue analytics, and storage.
Consented patients of Froedtert & MCW Hospitals and clinics donate non-diagnostic biospecimens for biomedical research to the General Tissue and Tumor Bank, the Maternal Bank, or the COVID-19 Bank.
