BioServe today launched The BioServe Network (BSN), a network of leading academic, medical, and industry biosample repositories that creates the largest resource of high-quality biosamples for the life science industry. The charter members of the BioServe Network are Fox Chase Cancer Center, the Fairbanks Institute for Healthy Communities, the University of Massachusetts Medical School and the Windber Research Institute. By accessing this unique and rich resource of biomaterial, researchers gain unprecedented access to the highest quality biosamples from most any major disease.

"Biosamples are an important research tool that can dramatically accelerate basic science, clinical research and translational studies. However, scientists' ability to consistently obtain high quality biosamples in the quantity and disease type they need is very challenging," said Rama Modali, President, BioServe.

"We created the BioServe Network to provide a singular source of biosamples. Tapping into the inventories of BioServe's own Global BioRepository and the Network members, scientists are assured of getting the highest quality biosamples they need for their research," added Modali.

Mitch Martin, Ph.D., Global Head, DNA Sciences & Genetics at Roche, commented, "The promise of comprehensive availability for biosamples is compelling. The BioServe Network will open new opportunities for researchers to take advantage of tissue samples in their research, while making the process of sample procurement more efficient. For this reason alone The Network should quickly become the de facto source of biosamples for researchers investigating a wide variety of diseases."

Dr. John Anson, VP Biomarker Discovery at Oxford Gene Technology, added, "As a long-standing customer of BioServe, we have been pleased with the company's service and responsiveness. The BioServe Network should open new opportunities for researchers to take advantage of tissue samples in their research, while making the process of sample procurement more efficient."
