535 Barnhill Drive | Indianapolis, IN 46202The broad scientific objective of the IU Simon Cancer Center (IUSCC) is to conduct high-quality, cutting-edge basic and clinical research for improved understanding and advancement in the treatment of human malignancies. The ability to successfully investigate the biological basis of cancers, translate basic research to the clinical setting and better understand the relevance of observed clinical or population-based phenomena through laboratory-based research is greatly facilitated by the availability of an extensive repository of tissue samples, with accompanying pathologic and clinical data, procured from patients with malignancies and normal controls. To serve the needs of the cancer center in achieving this end, the IUSCC Solid Tissue Bank began providing solid tumors in 1996. In 2008, the Hematologic Malignancies Tissue Bank was established to provide hematological malignancies. Since that time, the IUSCC Solid Tissue Bank has continued to provide tissue for the discovery of new drug targets and biomarkers, for the development of cancer cell lines and for DNA and RNA research. Over the past 10 years, IUSCC has provided hundreds of tumor samples to many leading IU scientists and affiliates. Specimens with confirmed histology and diagnosis are available from surgery within 90 minutes post-excision from a large variety of cancers. Normal adjacent tissue, metastatic tissue and archival blocks are available. The Hematologic Malignancies Tissue Bank serves as a tissue procurement resource for the centralized banking of blood, bone marrow, leukapheresis and buccal swab specimens procured from patients with hematologic malignancies and normal controls. All malignant samples are accompanied by clinical and pathological data. Beyond simply serving as a repository of tissue, the IUSCC Tissue Bank is a shared resource of samples that is made available to researchers for the examination of relevant cellular and molecular properties and is used in preclinical drug development assays.

The Contract Research Map is owned and maintained by Scientist.com. It was created to help researchers in the life sciences identify and connect with contract research organizations (CROs) based on geography. Updated nightly, this map features all of the available CROs within our network, so you can order services with a few clicks. Click on a specific country, scroll on the map itself or type into the search bar at the top—there are many ways to find the location and suppliers that you’re looking for. From Argentina to New Zealand, use this map to connect with a CRO near you.
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.
Have questions or feedback? We’d love to help. You can find our FAQs and contact information on the Learn more page.
