Study overview

Biopsy processing and distribution

TL;DR:

How each participant’s biopsy cores are used for diagnosis and distributed for research.

The goal for KPMP ideally is to obtain 3 cores from each participant, which allows for multiple -omics technologies to be run on the same participant (though on different core samples). Core 1 is used for diagnostic purposes; Cores 2 and 3 are solely used for research:
