This was preceded by a festive breakfast that was held in honor of the biorepository team for all of their hard work. The biorepository team presented on some of their recent accomplishments, including their tremendous growth (860% increase in BioR sample procurement in one year), the establishment of their bioinformatics department (which maintains and aggregates data, enables advanced data queries, maps data across LIMS and EPIC systems, and compiles clinical summaries), and the establishment of a core facility (a space for researchers to store and access their biospecimens, and includes equipment, environmental health and safety services, and concierge).
