Prospective Specimen Collections for Clinical Trials and Others
Clinical Trials Support
BPTP collects, processes, stores, and ships fresh, frozen, and fixed tissue or liquid specimens for clinical trials in collaboration with Markey Precision Medicine Clinic and the Markey Clinical Research Organization.
Real-time Specimen Collection
BPTP supports Markey researchers who need fresh specimens, specimens collected at specified time points, or from particular patient cohorts. BPTP maintains IRB protocols for the collection of these specimens and can assist researchers in obtaining appropriate IRB approval for their secondary use.
Researchers requesting prospective specimen collection can schedule a consultation at markey.bstp@uky.edu. All Markey therapeutic trials are reviewed by BPTP during protocol initiation, but investigators in the process of protocol design or budgeting can request information or assistance at markey.bstp@uky.edu
