Laboratory and Biorepository Research Services (LABS) Core

The Laboratory and Biorepository Research Services (LABS) Core is an institutional core housed within the BMC Department of Pathology and Laboratory Medicine. Its mission is to provide high-quality research services to members of the BMC and BU research community in order to support innovative and impactful science. It provides access to prospectively collected and clinical remnant samples from COVID-19 patients; investigator-initiated access to clinical remnant samples, including tissue and slides (i.e., leftover sample initially collected for clinical purpose); and sample processing services (e.g., PBMC isolation, plasma), storage, and shipping.
