Inventing Software Solutions with Partner, BioLinQ, to Simplify our Biobanking Process
The Biopathology Center here at Nationwide Children #39;s Hospital is funded by the National Cancer Institute and serves as the data repository for cancer samples from more than 500 hospitals. Every day, the Biopathology Center receives between 20 and 40 FedEx packages containing pediatric and adult cancer samples from across all North America. The Biopathology Center is also the repository for the Gynecologic Oncology Group, and the Children #39;s Oncology Group. Combined, these biobanks number 1.4 million tumor samples. Nationwide Children #39;s is one of only two repositories for leukemia samples in the United States, Canada and Australia. This biobanking expertise allowed Nationwide Children #39;s to become the Biospecimen Core Resource for The Cancer Genome Atlas project, a national project working to accelerate the comprehensive understanding of the genetics of cancer. But with all of that data comes a unique challenge: managing, organizing and analyzing all of it. The unique challenges we faced did not have a solution - so we created one. The Biopathology Center #39;s research informatics team partnered with a company called BioLinQ to develop three software solutions for disease diagnosis and medical research. What #39;s more is that all of these software solutions are being used by staff every day here at Nationwide Children #39;s. And soon - it #39;ll be available for other organizations to use.
