Join Us! Dual Launch Seminar |
We are pleased to launch two important new resources for WashU Medicine investigators: the WashU Medicine BioStore and the Consented Sample Gateway, part of the Center for Translational BioInformatics (CTBI). These two distinct but complementary systems are designed to improve how WashU investigators access, manage, and analyze samples.
