Freezers full of consented tumour samples with matched clinical data, which every biomarker and drug programme depends on.
Academic biobanks (MD Anderson, Mayo, UK Biobank for germline, Karolinska, Hartwig for WGS), commercial procurement (Discovery Life Sciences, Indivumed, BioIVT, Precision for Medicine, iSpecimen marketplace), and living biobanks of organoids and PDX (Hubrecht Organoid Technology, Champions Oncology, HCMI) supply tissue, blood, and models for target validation and diagnostic development. Consent breadth, annotation depth, and pre-analytic standardisation determine value.
Consented collection at surgery or biopsy, controlled fixation or snap-freezing, LIMS tracking, and linked de-identified clinical follow-up.
