Brigham and Women’s Hospital, Channing Division of Network Medicine 221 Longwood Ave Eugene Braunwald Research Center, 6th Floor Boston, MA 02115The BWH/Harvard Cohorts Biorepository Core manages over 3.2 million biological specimens collected from over 200,000 participants in several large cohort studies. The Core prepares and ships over 60,000 biospecimens annually to collaborating laboratories for analyses evaluating the relationship between biomarkers and chronic disease risk. These cohort studies include: Nurses’ Health Study (NHS) Nurses’ Health Study II (NHSII) Health Professionals Follow-up Study (HPFS) Physician’s Health Study (PHS) Growing Up Today Studies (GUTS/GUTSII) Biospecimens collected from each of these cohorts are being actively utilized in epidemiologic research studies of cancer, cardiovascular disease, and diabetes, among others. The biospecimens from these cohorts are richly enhanced by up to 30 years of health-related behaviors and medical histories, making them a unique and invaluable research resource. Sample types stored in the biorepository include plasma, white blood cells, red blood cells, whole blood, urine, DNA, toenails, hair, stool, and saliva. These samples are an extremely valuable, but finite, resource; thus much effort is put forth to ensure high quality, efficient specimen handling. The goal of the Biorepository is to maximize use of samples in a cost-effective, ethical, state of the art manner.

We believe that every researcher across the world should be able to connect with the thousands of global CROs that exist and have the opportunity to work together. Like many industries,the life science supply chain has been disrupted over the last year. But there are many other circumstances such as international customs regulations or sensitive shipping times that create limitations around which countries are feasible to partner with. Sometimes, finding a CRO based in a country that best suits your research needs is imperative. We hope this contract research map allows you to find the right partner in the right place at the right time.
