The J.P. McCarthy Cord Stem Cell Bank at the Karmanos Cancer Institute is a public, non-profit stem cell bank with over 1,200 umbilical cord blood units in its inventory. The bank was founded in 2001 and is one of only 21 internationally recognized cord stem cell banks affiliated with the National Marrow Donor Program. The only bank of its kind in Michigan, it was created in anticipation of providing life-saving hope to people who have been diagnosed with cancer and serious blood disorders. Karmanos collects, processes and stores donated umbilical cord blood that becomes a readily available source of hematopoietic stem cells for transplant in children and adults with leukemia, lymphoma, sickle cell disease or other life-threatening conditions. The J.P. McCarthy Cord Blood Bank and Carls Processing Laboratory is also accredited by the Foundation for the Accreditation of Cellular Therapy (FACT). The accreditation signifies the highest standards of practice in collection, processing and transplantation. Karmanos is the only FACT accredited cord blood bank in Michigan and one of only nine in the United States. In the Detroit Metropolitan area, the number of hospitals participating in the collection of cord blood is rapidly increasing. Please consider donating your baby''s cord blood if you are delivering at one of our participating hospitals: Henry Ford Wyandotte Hospital in Wyandotte, MI, Providence Park Hospital in Novi, MI, St. Joseph Mercy Hospital in Ann Arbor

https://www.synapse.org/

A cloud-based collaborative platform which co-locates data, code, and computing resources for analyzing genome-scale data and seamlessly integrates these services allowing scientists to share and analyze data together. Synapse consists of a web portal integrated with the R/Bioconductor statistical package and will be integrated with additional tools. The web portal is organized around the concept of a Project which is an environment where you can interact, share data, and analysis methods with a specific group of users or broadly across open collaborations. Projects provide an organizational structure to interact with data, code and analyses, and to track data provenance. A project can be created by anyone with a Synapse account and can be shared among all Synapse users or restricted to a specific team. Public data projects include the Synapse Commons Repository (SCR) (syn150935) and the metaGenomics project (syn275039). The SCR provides access to raw data and phenotypic information for publicly available genomic data sets, such as GEO and TCGA. The metaGenomics project provides standardized preprocessed data and precomputed analysis of the public SCR data.

THIS RESOURCE IS NO LONGER IN SERVICE. Documented July 5, 2018. A national center for biospecimen science and standards to advance cancer research and treatment. It was created in response to the critical and growing need for high-quality, well-documented biospecimens for cancer research. The initiative builds on resources already developed by the NCI, including the Biospecimen Research Network and the NCI Best Practices for Biospecimen Resources, both of which were developed to address challenges around standardization of the collection and dissemination of quality biospecimens. caHUB will develop the infrastructure for collaborative biospecimen research and the production of evidence-based biospecimen standard operating procedures.

http://cancer.ucsf.edu/

The UCSF Helen Diller Family Comprehensive Cancer Center combines basic science, clinical research, epidemiology/cancer control, and patient care throughout the University of California, San Francisco. UCSF''s long tradition of excellence in cancer research includes, notably, the Nobel Prize-winning work of J. Michael Bishop and Harold Varmus, who discovered cancer-causing oncogenes. Their work opened new doors for exploring genetic mistakes that cause cancer, and formed the basis for some of the most important cancer research happening today. * Basic Scientific Research: From understanding normal cellular processes and replication to discovering the underlying molecular and genetic causes of cancer when these processes go awry, UCSF researchers are committed to moving scientific insights beyond model systems and pursuing their relevance for clinical oncology and cancer prevention. * Clinical Research: Clinical scientists explore how greater understanding of fundamental biological events can be transformed into clinically relevant tools. New forms of cancer treatment, as well as innovations in diagnosis and prognosis, undergo rigorous evaluation for safety and efficacytranslating into improved patient outcomes and hope for the future. * Patient Care: The Helen Diller Family Comprehensive Cancer Center provides superlative cancer patient care at four San Francisco medical centers: UCSF Medical Center at Mount Zion; UCSF Medical Center at Parnassus; San Francisco General Hospital; and the San Francisco Veterans Affairs Medical Center. * Population Science: Cancer population sciences at UCSF includes a broad range of research on the causes of new cancers and the sickness and death due to the disease in order to develop ways to improve the prevention and early detection of cancer as well as the quality of life following diagnosis and treatment for all of Northern California''s diverse populations.
