Blood and Tissue

血液和组织核心为当地和合作研究提供了重要的资源。核心被设计成一个“没有墙的核心”。核心的主要职责是确保人类标本的处理和储存质量。我们与麻省总医院的nih资助的技术研究中心（CRC）密切合作，该中心是哈佛临床与转化科学中心（CTSC）的一部分，我们与BWH的James Liao博士的实验室建立了合作关系。根据急性卒中转化研究专业项目公告（PAR-09-254）中提出的目标，我们提出了一个血液和组织核心，它将支持MGH的ARISE（项目#2）和BWH的new - start，并在SPOTRIAS网络中收集和共享血浆和DNA样本。

The Blood and Tissue Core provides an essential resource for local and collaborative research. The Core is designed to exist as a "core without walls". The primary responsibility ofthe Core is to ensure the quality of processing and storage of human specimens. We work closely with the Massachusetts General Hospital's NIH-funded Chnical Research Center (CRC) which is part of the Harvard Clinical and Translational Science Center (CTSC), and we have established collaboration with Dr. James Liao's laboratory at the BWH. We propose a Blood and Tissue Core responsive to the aims set forth in the Specialized Program of Translational Research in Acute Stroke program announcement (PAR-09-254), which will support ARISE (project #2) at MGH and Neu-START at BWH, and collect and share plasma and DNA samples within the SPOTRIAS network. The aims ofthe Partners SPOTRIAS Blood and Tissue Core are: 1. To process, maintain, and distribute blood specimens collected in ARISE (Project #2) at MGH. 2. To support blood collection and processing for the Neu-START study at the BWH. 3. To store blood specimens collected on SPOTRIAS subjects for future collaborative studies. 4. To collect genetic material for submission to the NINDS repository for use in future genetic studies proposed within Partners, the SPOTRIAS network, the International Stroke Genetics Consortium (ISGC), and the broader scientific community.
