Learn More about our Sample Inventory
We are excited to share a sneak peek: The HMHN BioR Database. This application is designed to showcase all available oncology, COVID-19, and the variety of non-oncology samples that are collected across the HMH network and stored in the Biorepository. Researchers within our network will be able to search and request de-identified samples for downstream research directly from this application. We hope you enjoy the BioR's very own "Amazon Marketplace" going live soon. See this link for a tour of what's been built out so far.
