Cambridge Blood and Stem Cell Biobank, NHS-BT Cambridge Centre, Long Road, Cambridge, CB2 0PTThe Cambridge Blood and Stem Cell Biobank is a tissue bank for samples from patients with haematological malignancies and normal individuals, including cord blood. We are based in the NHS Blood and Transplant Cambridge Centre on the Cambridge Biomedical Campus, and since our foundation in 2009, most of our work has involved recruiting and collecting samples from patients both locally and nationally, in close collaboration with clinical and research staff. Our team consists of a core sample processing and quality monitoring laboratory, and research midwives and nurses liaising with clinical teams locally to actively recruit new and actively follow up existing patients on the study. The bank has collected over 8000 blood and bone marrow-derived samples to date from patients with haematological malignancies and approximately 1000 normal individuals, all curated in a bespoke database designed to facilitate research activities. Samples are used by world-class research groups in the department and their collaborators, resulting in a number of peer-reviewed publications including several in high impact journals. The laboratory and clinical teams are supported by the Cambridge NIHR Biomedical Research Centre, the Cambridge Experimental Cancer Medicine Centre, Wellcome Trust-MRC Stem Cell Institute, Cancer Research UK, Bloodwise and the West Anglian Comprehensive Local Research Network.

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.
