1. Specimen Processing and Analytical Nexus
UAB Center for Clinical and Translational Science
Jeffrey C Edberg, Director
The CCTS Specimen Lab specializes in research based clinical specimen processing and specimen biobanking with barcoded inventory management. Our newly constructed lab located within the CCTS Clinical Research Unit (CRU) and Phase I Clinic on the 15th floor of Jefferson Tower is able to facilitate rapid processing of participant research specimens from individuals participating in clinical trials. Additionally, we offer more complex human blood processing in our facility located in Shelby 230.
Additional CCTS Resources
We are available to work with the Clinical Research Unit (CRU) patient facilities to facilitate “bedside-to-bench” research.
We participate in the “First Wednesdays at PCAMS” featuring consultation clinics with our Biostatistics, Biorepository, Clinical Research Unit and Bionutrition experts.
We work with the Clinical Research Support Program (CRSP) to provide support in transport and shipment of samples for clinical trials.
