Biospecimen Lab (BSL)

 

Located on the 4th floor of LRCP (Room A4-909) within the Cancer Research Laboratories Program, the BSL is generously supported by donor funding as part of the Baines Centre Clinical Cancer Research/Baines Challenge in partnership with the London Health Sciences Foundation.

The mission of the LRCP Biospecimen Lab is to provide high-quality processing, management, and storage for clinical cancer research biospecimens such as blood, saliva, urine, and tumour tissue to ensure availability for immediate and future studies.

This service (price list for 2024-2025) is available to any oncology investigator in London interested in conducting clinical research involving biospecimens. The BSL is capably run by Biospecimen Research Coordinator Emma Churchman, PhD Candidate, with scientific and clinical oversight provided by Dr. Alison Allan and Dr. Stephen Welch. Emma can provide support to investigators in the areas of correlative biospecimen research design, budgeting, study initiation, and data management. 

We thank our generous donors as part of the Baines Centre Clinical Cancer Research/Baines Challenge in partnership with the London Health Sciences Foundation
