Biospecimen Processing and Biorepository


The Biospecimen Processing and Biorepository (BPB) in Fred Hutch’s Shared Resources has been operating as a critical institution-wide resource for more than 30 years. We are a qualified, experienced research facility that actively engages in clinical research through peripheral blood mononuclear cell isolation, EBV-immortalization of B cells, tissue culture maintenance, DNA extraction, and inventory control.

The laboratory has supported multiple national and international programs, serving as a qualified repository for tissue samples and cell lines.

  • Type I Diabetes Genetic Consortium, North American DNA Repository
  • Fred Hutch hematopoetic stem cell transplantation program, biorepository for patient, donor and family member samples
  • HLA researchers, 13th International Histocompatibility Working Group (IHWG)
