Program of Work

Improve biobank standard operating procedures and sample preservation by:

  • Conducting and publishing results on targeted sample preservation studies
  • Identifying and filling gaps in best practices related to the management of genomic samples

Current Activities

  • Performing a long-term experiment on fixed animal tissue preservation; testing common preservatives across wider range of taxa
    • Currently testing Qiagen RNAlater, RNAlater surrogate, Qiagen AllProtect, ethanol, propylene glycol, DESS (DMSO/NaCl), and tissue lysis buffer
  • Performing an experiment on stabilizers for RNA during shipment
  • As part of SYNTHESYS+ Work Package 3, performing a landscape analysis of existing biobank standard operating procedures
  • Serving on the EBP Scientific Subcommittee: Sample Collection and Processing.
