Newly approved Concept Proposal
- The following concept proposal was recently approved by the P&P Committee.
- “Fibrinogen like 2 (FGL2) in human chronic kidney disease” Corresponding author: Wenjun Ju
- If you are interested in participating in the writing group, please contact the corresponding author by this Friday November 19th. A P&P login is required to view the proposals below.
Central Biorepository (CBR) upcoming closures & limited intake
Please make note of upcoming limited service at the CBR November 22-26.
- AVOID
- Please do not send COVID shipments, FFPE/EPON blocks or slides, or any non-urgent shipments to arrive that week.
- LIMITED INTAKE
- If strictly necessary, ACD Blood can be drawn and shipped on Monday 11/22, but it must arrive early in the day on Tuesday for proper processing, so avoid drawing on 11/22 if at all possible.
- If necessary, Cryostor samples can be shipped on Monday 11/22 to arrive Tuesday. Given the requirement to ship Cryostor to CBR within 7 days of collection and given the requirement to incubate the Cryostor in the Mr Frosty in the -80C freezer for 12-24 hours, we recommend collecting no Cryostor after Thursday 11/18 (you could collect Friday 11/19 if someone can remove it from the Mr Frosty on Saturday)
- PLAN AHEAD
- Requests placed that week (e.g. TIS requests for samples or RS/HRT requests for kits/supplies) will be delayed in fulfillment by at least 1 week. If you need something for late November to mid-December, order soon.
- Regular shipments and requests can resume beginning 11/29
Next Participant Town Hall:
