Biorepository Lab Support Associate - RI BP GriderRequisition ID2024-47947CategoryResearchOverviewBiorepository Lab Support AssociateThe Biopathology Center (BPC) within The Research Institute at Nationwide Children's Hospital is a primarily grant-funded biorepository with the objective of acquisition and long-term storage of a large number of cancerous, normal and diseased biospecimens and related data. These biospecimens are used to support and facilitate cutting edge research and advancing clinical patient care. In accordance with provisions of approved protocols, the BPC currently serves as biorepositories for the Children's Oncology Group (COG), NRG Oncology, SWOG (formerly the Southwestern Oncology Group), the Pediatric Division of the Collaborative Human Tissue Network (pCHTN), internal investigators, and other sponsor groups.
