The Susan G. Komen Tissue Bank at the IU Simon Comprehensive Cancer Center is the only source in the world of breast tissue donated by healthy volunteers without evidence of breast cancer. This unique resource enables researchers to study normal breast biology and identify early changes associated with cancer development.
Directed by Michele Cote, PhD, MPH, professor of epidemiology at the Fairbanks School, the Tissue Bank’s goal is to accelerate breast cancer research by providing critical biospecimens and facilitating data sharing among researchers.
