Description

The ARC-Net biobank has been operational since 2009 and is part of the ARC-NET centre for applied research on cancer at the University of Verona, focusing on the identification of new markers/targets for cancer and accelerate clinical introduction of new information using technological platforms within an integrated network. The biobank collects surgical and bioptic cancer tissue treated using different methods. Fresh tissue is also used to create a bank of cell cultures, 3D organoids and xeno-transplanted mouse models. The bank also conserves blood samples and processed derivatives, collected at different time points. Urine and Saliva are also conserved in the biobank. Samples are molecularly characterized and validated with tissue microarrays. All samples are digitally imaged as a whole and as part of the extraction process. These data and images are associated with the clinical and pathological data in the biobank databank.
