Availability of high-quality, annotated human tissue specimens and comprehensive histopathological services at the College of American Pathologists (CAP) - accredited UC San Diego Biorepository and Tissue Technology Shared Resources(BTTSR)

The BTTSR is founded on a well-established model that integrates tissue procurement, processing, storage, and multimodal (histologic, immunohistochemical, and molecular) analyses with traditional epidemiologic, clinicopathologic, and outcome parameters through a highly evolved bioinformatics system.  ​

The mission of the BTTSR is to support MCC, C3, and outside researchers’ projects by providing annotated human bio-specimens, and state-of-the-art histology processing, interpretation, and histopathological analysis of samples. ​
