Did You Know?
In an effort to foster translational science collaborations, CCTS has added information on more than 280,000 samples to UAB's i2b2 research database. If you are i2b2 trained, we invite you to search the collection and contact CCTS Biorepository Director Dr. Jeff Edberg to request a link to collaborate with a researcher whose samples are of interest, or to add your own samples to i2b2. If you are not i2b2 trained, check out our upcoming sessions and register for one today.
